Man Utd warned Erik ten Hag appointment could accelerate Bruno Fernandes transfer exit

Manchester United have been warned that appointing Erik ten Hag could lead to a number of big-name players leaving the club, including Bruno Fernandes.

The Red Devils have struck an agreement in principle for the Ajax boss to become their next permanent manager and succeed Ralf Rangnick, who has been presiding over first-team affairs on an interim basis since December after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked. Ten Hag held multiple rounds of in-depth talks with the Old Trafford hierarchy before being offered the job and laid out a five-year plan to bring United back to the top of world football.

Reacting to news that a long-term approach will be implemented, former midfielder Kleberson has suggested that Fernandes will now be considering his future in Manchester, despite the 27-year-old signing a new five-year contract with the club only a fortnight ago.
