Bruno Fernandes’ future at Manchester United is becoming increasingly uncertain, with AC Milan now reportedly monitoring the situation ahead of the January transfer window.
The 32-year-old has been at the centre of growing tension after publicly questioning United’s tactical approach following the 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como.
Michael Carrick then left his captain on the bench for Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Bournemouth, fuelling speculation that the relationship between player and club is beginning to fracture.

According to Calciomercato, AC Milan are keeping a close eye on Fernandes and could explore a January move if he becomes available.
Ruben Amorim is understood to be keen on a reunion with his former United captain, while the midfielder himself is said to be increasingly unhappy with how things are developing at Old Trafford.
Fernandes’ criticism of United’s tactics after the Como defeat was significant. He argued that the team were not pressing aggressively enough and were giving opponents too much confidence and space.
Carrick later insisted his decision to drop Fernandes against Bournemouth was purely football-related rather than disciplinary.
There is also uncertainty over his contract. Football Insider reports that his current deal expires next summer, although United hold an option to extend it by a further year and have discussed a new agreement.
