  "account": "Manchester United have firmly stated that they will not sell Bruno Fernandes, despite interest from Turkish club Galatasaray. The 31-year-old midfielder is in the final year of his contract with United, although the club has the option to extend it for another season. However, there are no plans to let him go.\n\nFernandes received a substantial offer from Saudi Arabian Pro-League side Al-Hilal during the summer of 2025, but chose to remain at Old Trafford. In fact, he expressed feeling hurt that he believed the club wanted him to depart. Despite this, Fernandes went on to win the Footballer of the Year award the following season and set a record with 21 Premier League assists. He also received the Sir Matt Busby award for a fifth time, as he helped United climb from 15th place in 2025 to within the top three.\n\nReports suggest that Fernandes may have had a clause allowing foreign clubs to sign him for a fixed fee this summer, but that clause expired last month. United remains resolute in their stance, refusing any offer for the player.",
