This summer is one that Manchester United are expected to use to reshape their midfield.
While United’s engine room has been decent, INEOS now have a perfect opportunity to make it world-class.
After the revolutionary season Fernandes had, carrying United back into Champions League football and breaking the Premier League assists record (21), he deserved to be rewarded handsomely.
The fact that the Premier League player of the season carries a £57 million release clause this summer, with top clubs capable of swaying him, should have been enough to trigger an immediate contract offer.
There have been suggestions of talks being initiated over that. Yet, just as fans were expecting some “breaking news” on that front, it appears a new deal may not materialise this summer, according to The Mirror.
