BREAKING NEWS: Bruno Fernandes Confirms teammates Shocking Decision to Leave Manchester United for Chelsea

In a stunning twist during this transfer window, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has confirmed that promising midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has agreed to join Premier League rivals Chelsea this summer. Speaking on the situation, Fernandes admitted, “I tried my possible best to convince him to stay here at Old Trafford, but he chose to leave and join rivals Chelsea instead.”

The 18-year-old Mainoo, valued at £50 million, has been touted as one of the brightest prospects to emerge from Manchester United’s academy in recent years. However, reports suggest that the youngster has been enticed by Chelsea’s project under Mauricio Pochettino, who is said to have played a key role in luring Mainoo to Stamford Bridge. The news comes as a major blow to United fans, who had high hopes for the teenager’s future at the club.
Manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly furious over Mainoo’s decision to leave, as he had planned to integrate the talented midfielder into his long-term strategy for United. Amorim’s frustrations mirror those of the fans, many of whom have taken to social media to express their disappointment. “First Marcus Rashford looks set to leave, and now Mainoo? What is happening to our club?” one supporter lamented.

Mainoo’s impending departure follows a series of turbulent months for Manchester United, with question marks surrounding the futures of key players. This latest development is particularly painful, given Chelsea’s status as one of United’s fiercest rivals.
As of March 30, 2025, there is no official confirmation from Manchester United, Chelsea, or Bruno Fernandes regarding Kobbie Mainoo’s transfer to Chelsea. While reports have indicated Chelsea’s interest in the 19-year-old midfielder, no formal agreement has been announced. citeturn0search0
