Another rumour today, is that Bruno has turned down the offer of a contract extension. I'd imagine the club will likely trigger his 1 year extension and try and sell him if they can.

Not sure it works like that MH.

Good news.

Even factoring how impressive Bruno has been in his time here, it honestly might not be the worst time to part ways.
At 32 he is probably on the decline and can see a similar situation to Mo Salah and Liverpool if he does sign a new deal but then finds himself being benched in certain games and kicks off. Also freeing up his wages could help prioritise spending in ofher areas mainly defence.
Also from his point of view could either earn massive money in Saudi or sign a 1/2 year deal at a European giant and try win the champions league.

Bruno has without doubt been our best player over the past 5-6 years. However, all good things must come to end. I also feel that Bruno is having a similar affect on our team that Gerrard had on Liverpool's, in that the team seems to have to be built around him and only performs well when he performs well.

It probably is the best time to maximise his selling fee but who is going to come close to providing his assists in the current squad. If keeping him means reaching the Champions League again then he has basically covered any loss in transfer fee.
If he is sold I can't see us qualifying for the Champions League and how will potential signings for us view the team. It's just such bad forward planning or lack of it by the United management team.

The club will have to move on from Bruno at some point, but I wouldn’t think for second that getting his wages off the book will result in increased investment in new players. Casemiro and Sancho both left last summer, and our transfer spend was below promoted sides.
The INEOS philosophy is to reduce the wage bill and still expect results from the squad.
