Manchester United have been told they can clinch the Premier League title with Bruno Fernandes , but they must avoid the temptation to sell him despite links to three England stars. The Red Devils have experienced a revival under Michael Carrick and currently sit third in the table, boasting an 11-game unbeaten run.

With each victory, their grip on Champions League qualification tightens, sparking hope among the United faithful that the groundwork for a potential title push next season is being laid .

Central to their recent form has been Fernandes, who is in the running for PFA Player of the Year with seven goals and 13 assists to his name in just 25 league matches. The 31-year-old skipper is contracted until 2028, yet rumours of a possible summer departure persist .

Whilst the Portuguese ace is expected to make a decision on his future at the season's end, retaining the midfielder and resisting moves for Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham or Morgan Rogers should be on United's to-do list, says club legend Bryan Robson.

Speaking to Boyle Sports , the ex-United captain stated: "Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers are all very, very good players but these lads are all attacking players. I think in the midfield area Manchester United need a really top player who can defend and pass the ball well. I think that's the type of player we need.

"Because of the signings like this year, with Sesko up front and Bruno in midfield, all those players, Palmer, Bellingham and Rogers, they have got great ability and great pace but they're not what United need."

Despite only having an FA Cup and Carabao Cup to his name, there are questions about whether Fernandes can steer United to a Premier League title. However, Robson has faith in Fernandes due to his experience and determination.

The 69-year-old added: "Bruno Fernandes is a top player. He can do things on a football pitch other people can't. He creates chances for people. He scores great goals. I think his attitude is spot on. He's a great lad around the club.

"I was 33 when we won the FA Cup, then we went on to win the League Cup, we won the European Cup Winners' Cup, and then we won the title, and then we won the double. I was 33 when that all started up so when people keep talking about age.
