Bayern Munich keeping tabs on Man Utd attacker

Bayern Munich are closely monitoring the situation of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.

The Portuguese has been a crucial player for the Red Devils over the past six years, but his future is uncertain beyond next summer.

His current deal expires in June next year, but United have the option to keep him for another year with an extension clause in his deal.

That is widely expected to be triggered soon but Fernandes could be on the move in the summer amid his reluctance to pen a new contract.

Bayern have been long-term admirers of the former Sporting CP man and could revive their pursuit at the end of the ongoing season.

Fernandes has a release clause of around £54m in his contract that will become active during next summer's transfer window (July).

The Red Devils have not given up on convincing Fernandes to stay, but as things stand, he has snubbed a couple of contract offers.
