Bruno Fernandes hinted he may leave Manchester United in the close season, but insisted he will not consider his future until after the European Championship.
The United skipper has been one of the Red Devils standout performers during a tricky campaign for Erik ten Hag s side, who are sixth in the Premier League and six points behind fifth-place Tottenham with three games remaining.
Fernandes has chipped in with 26 direct goal involvements (15 goals, 11 assists) the most by any United player and became the first player to create over 100 chances in the Premier League this term during Saturday s 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Antoine Griezmann says he is proud to match Zinedine Zidane for assists with France, but credited their World Cup victory over Denmark as a team performance.
Kylian Mbappe s double saw the defending champions book their place in the knockout rounds with a 2-1 win, cementing top spot in Group D with a game in hand.
Griezmann supplied the crucial delivery for the forward s winner, cancelling out Andreas Christensen s earlier equaliser, to move him to 26 assists overall for his country.
That draws him level with national legend and fellow World Cup winner Zidane, but while Griezmann was delighted to match the achievement, he was quick to pay tribute to Didier Deschamps squad as a whole.
I am very proud of that, he told TF1. But I insist [it is] the work of …

We challenge for top honours internationally, are a top team domestically and I am feeling very well here…

Suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter s camp was in a buoyant mood after facing the FIFA ethics committee on Thursday.
The governing body has been reeling for months as it faces allegations of corruption.
However, Blatter s lawyer was positive of a good outcome for the 79-year-old Swiss, who was suspended from all football activity on October 8.

Blatter and Platini were suspended from all football activity on October 8 pending a full investigation into their conduct.
Blatter received strong backing from Russian president Vla…
