Bruno Fernandes’ team-mates fear their skipper will leave Manchester United in the summer, per The Sun.
United players reportedly believe Fernandes is tired of all the turmoil and may seek a fresh start elsewhere.
The club sacked Ruben Amorim as head coach, despite spending over £200 million on five summer signings to suit the Portuguese’s style of play.
United made the shocking decision after he hit out at the club’s hierarchy following the 1-1 draw at Leeds United.
Darren Fletcher will lead the team for Sunday’s FA Cup clash against Brighton & Hove Albion, but a new caretaker manager is expected to be appointed for the Manchester derby on January 17.
Fernandes revealed in November that United’s chiefs were willing to sell him when Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal submitted a £100m offer.
The attacking midfielder said it was Amorim who eventually convinced him to stay at Old Trafford.
With the Portuguese boss no longer at the helm, there are doubts over Fernandes’ future in Manchester.
The 31-year-old has a contract with United until 2027, with the club having an option to extend it by another year.
Fernandes has been the most consistent and reliable player over the years.
He has scored 103 goals and created 94 assists in 309 appearances across all competitions, helping his side win the FA Cup and League Cup.
The Portugal international has started 18 Premier League matches this campaign, with 13 direct goal contributions to his name.
But United may consider cashing in on him in the summer to boost their transfer budget.
