He disrespected the club and the fans publicly. He described our environment as toxic and inconsistent, saying he wanted a new challenge.
Now that the clubs he was twerking for have used and dumped him, he’s suddenly open to staying because he has no other option.
I’ll be extremely disappointed if Carrick and the board bring him back to disrupt this hardworking squad. No player should be bigger than the club.
🚨🗣️ @ChrisWheelerDM on midfield alternatives to Fernandes (Alex Scott, Wharton, Tonali):
"Alex Scott is one they are looking at. I’m told Scott is more likely than someone like Wharton for instance. Other names have been mentioned. Tonali feels a lot less likely now. All I know for certain right now is that Fernandes is the guy they’re working on.
Probably Scott would be the next one, the kind of next go-to. And then you have this list - Wharton, Baleba, Guimaraes, Tonali. Some of them might be gettable, some of them not."

🚨🇵🇹 | JUST IN:
#MUFC understand that Mateus Fernandes WANTS to join the club.
He would play for Tottenham, but he’d PREFER United.

🚨🎙️ | @AndyMitten:
“If some of the FIGURES came out which some agents have received on some signings over the last five years, they [the public] would be ALARMED.
“Manchester United should NOT be held to desperation or panic when negotiating.”

I've seen all the reports and I respect all the journos, but genuinely, all I can say is that United still remain confident on Fernandes & the deal isn't over yet. This will frustrate people but all I can do is tell you what I know.
I've never once 'hid' and I never, ever, will.
