Two hints that Bruno Fernandes is definitely leaving Manchester United as Rashford ‘adds fuel to the fire’

Bruno Fernandes is pretty much certain to leave Manchester United this summer after greeting supporters and receiving a message from Marcus Rashford.

The Sun website kindly lets us know.

Some Red Devils fans worry the Portugal international hinted at an exit once more after Wednesday’s 3-2 victory over Newcastle at Old Trafford.

Fernandes didn’t come out to meet the supporters until around midnight after the game ended at 10pm.

It might be the single worst hint in history. Game ends at 10pm; player emerges to greet fans and sign autographs ‘around midnight’ (the video in question was posted at half 11). How does that give any indication as to his future in any possible way?

Fernandes was also substituted before full-time. Perhaps he was receiving treatment, with this his first game back from injury? Don’t be stupid – he was delaying it because he’s off to Saudi. Silly Mediawatch.

Nevertheless, Fernandes was in a great mood and was very kind with the United fans.

No wonder; with his mind so obviously made up that he is going to leave, it must have been a weight off his shoulders.

The Portuguese star didn’t show any concrete sign that he is leaving as he signed every autograph and took selfies.

Yeah, you’re really not kidding that there was no ‘concrete sign that he is leaving’ just because he came out to meet fans about an hour and a half after the game finished.

All Fer one
But the clues continue in the Daily Express website:

Marcus Rashford sparks Man Utd exit meltdown with message to Bruno Fernandes

These Manchester United supporters are going through an awful time at the minute with the Fernandes stuff, aren’t they? First there were ‘fears’, now they are having an ‘exit meltdown’, which really does sound awful.

What has sparked this latest panic? Did he greet fans three hours after training finished at Carrington?

Rashford added fuel to the fire by responding to a message on social media with what many supporters viewed as a goodbye to the Portuguese midfield maestro.

Well no. Rаѕһford ѕаіd on ѕocіаl мedіа tһаt ‘іt’ѕ Ьeen а рleаѕᴜre ѕһаrіng tһe ріtcһ wіtһ уoᴜ Ьro,’ coмрlete wіtһ loʋe һeаrt eмojі, wһen Fernаndeѕ congrаtᴜlаted һім on һіѕ 400tһ маncһeѕter ᴜnіted аррeаrаnce.

рlentу of рeoрle һаʋe ‘аdded fᴜel to tһe fіre’ аnd contіnᴜe to do ѕo. Rаѕһford іѕ not амong tһeм.

Book of exodus
Manchester United are not the only club contending with exits that are definitely happening, however.

The dictionary definition of ‘exodus’ is ‘a mass departure of people’.

It is not, The Sun website, Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.

‘Liverpool’s post-Jurgen Klopp exodus begins with TWO stars released including Premier League and Champions League winner’ is just nonsense. It’s two players. And both their contracts are expiring. And Matip has started 12 games this season, not featuring since December, while the wage drain that is Thiago has played five minutes all campaign, back in February.

Arne Slot is not exactly going to be walking into Hull’s 2016/17 pre-season, is he?

A ѕаle аѕ old аѕ tімe

Nice Trip
‘Trippier hits out at Newcastle with damning verdict on Australia trip’ – Daily Mirror website headline.

“My expression says it all! It’s not ideal because it’s a tournament year. I understand why the club is doing it. I’ve done it at Tottenham and Madrid but from my own experience of it – in a tournament year – it’s not ideal. But we’re players, we’ve got to do what’s right for the club to move forward. When we’re there it’ll be good, we’ll embrace it and experience it.”

To be fair, ‘Trippier mildly critical of Newcastle’s post-season Australia tour but is ultimately completely fine with it’ is not very clicky. Far more accurate, but not very clicky.
