Bruno Fernandes has made it clear he will not sign a new contract with Manchester United until Mauricio Pochettino proves himself as a successful manager. The 32-year-old midfielder, who is set to leave the club at the end of the season, has expressed disillusionment with the team’s performance this season.
Fernandes, who has been a key player for United, feels the club’s recent struggles have made him hesitant to commit to a new long-term deal. His comments come after the club’s decision to axe Michael Carrick, a move that has further complicated the team’s direction.
Pochettino, who has been appointed as the new manager, faces an uphill battle to turn around United’s fortunes. The club currently sits in the Premier League relegation zone, and the new manager will need to quickly implement his vision to avoid further decline.
The appointment of Pochettino was seen as a last-ditch effort to revive the club’s fortunes. United, a 20-time English champion, has struggled for over a decade, and the decision to bring in a former Tottenham boss was made after a series of poor results.
Fernandes’ condition for a new contract highlights the uncertainty surrounding the club’s future. While Pochettino brings experience, the challenge of rebuilding a once-dominant team remains significant. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether the new manager can deliver the results needed to save United from relegation.
