Erik ten Hag can consider Manchester United wildcard to solve £35m transfer problem

If any Manchester United player deserves a breather ahead of the start of pre-season training next month, it is Bruno Fernandes.

He clocked up his 70th appearance of the season for club and country during Portugal's 1-0 win over Iceland in midweek. It meant he ended the 2022/23 campaign as the only player from Europe's top five leagues to have played 70 matches this season.

He missed just three of United's 62 outings, each of which were through suspension, meaning he boasts fitness levels that most players can only dream of.

His durability levels are excellent and his injury record is nothing short of outstanding. However, there comes a point where enough is enough.
