Manchester United have reached a fork in the road with Bruno Fernandes. One direction offers a tempting £100 million windfall, while the other sees a route toward a brighter future led by the team's talisman. However, neither is guaranteed to lead to United's desired destination: a return to glories.
At some point in the coming days, somebody at Old Trafford may have to make a huge decision: reject all offers for the 30-year-old, or cash in now and use the money to rebuild Ruben Amorim's inadequate squad.
United could follow Liverpool's blueprint and transform their fortunes, as the Anfield club did by investing in Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker after getting a £145m windfall by offloading Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona in 2018.
