Bruno Fernandes makes key Manchester United decision, Arsenal weigh up selling Gabriel Jesus – Paper Round


Bruno Fernandes wants to remain at Manchester United despite speculation linking him with a move away from the club.
Fernandes was the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia during the summer but opted to stay at Old Trafford.

And, according to The Sun, he is ready to commit his future to The Red Devils once more, believing better times for the club may be ahead.

“Bruno Fernandes is ready to snub a mega money move to Saudi Arabia and stay with Manchester United,” states the outlet.

“The Old Trafford skipper, 31, has had interest from Al Hilal and Al Ittihad over the past few months – but knocked both of them back.

“There has been a feeling he could be tempted by a lucrative switch to the Middle East once this summer’s World Cup is out of the way.

“However, sources close to the former Sporting Lisbon ace says he sees his future with the Red Devils and is fully on board with the project.

“Fernandes believes a top five finish and a return to Champions League football next season is still possible – despite their wobbly start to the campaign.”

United in contract talks with Maguire

Manchester United are in talks with Harry Maguire over a new contract, according to reports.

Maguire is out of contract next summer and is free to talk to other clubs in January, but The Reds are reportedly keen to hold on to the 32-year-old.

“Manchester United have made a transfer U-turn over their defender Harry Maguire ahead of the January window, according to reports,” writes Metro.

“It was previously said that Ruben Amorim was ‘planning for life’ without Maguire, who is currently free to negotiate with other clubs come January.

“Maguire, who has attracted interest from two Saudi Pro League clubs, cost United £80m when they signed him from Leicester City back in 2019.

“The Englishman is out of contract in June but United are now in talks with the 32-year-old over a fresh deal, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims.

“It’s thought that United had a face-to-face meeting with Maguire’s representatives in recent days and discussions are set to continue.”

Arsenal open to selling Jesus

Arsenal are “open” to selling striker Gabriel Jesus in January.

The Brazilian forward has been sidelined since suffering an ACL injury against Manchester United last January and is approaching full fitness for the start of the new year.

The Gunners have since signed Viktor Gyokeres, who has three goals in his first 10 games for the club.

The Mail claims: “It is understood that the Gunners are open to offers for Jesus in January, with his contract expiring in the summer of 2027. Arsenal have much power in their frontline, and Kai Havertz is still to return.

“In terms of outgoings, the likes of Reiss Nelson, Jakub Kiwior and Albert Sambi Lokonga have already been shifted out over the summer on permanent or loan deals.

“Selling Jesus – who set the Emirates alight when he first arrived from Manchester City in 2022 before a succession of agonising injuries – for the right money would far supersede all those deals.”
