'Agent Bruno' - Manchester United fans urge Fernandes to act after transfer release clause claims

Manchester United fans are urging Bruno Fernandes to help the club sign Fenerbache youngster Arda Guler following claims the midfielder has a £15million release clause in his contract.

The Turkish 18-year-old is one of the hottest properties in European football ahead of the summer transfer window, having scored six goals and provided four assists in 33 appearances for his side this season. Reports have indicated he could be available this summer for a bargain fee due to a €17.5million (£15million) release clause included in his current contract.

And that has led to speculation Guler could be headed to a new club, getting the pulses of fans across the continent racing. With a transfer race to secure Guler's signature possible, United fans think they have spotted a clear advantage for their club.

Fernandes, who previously played under current Fenerbahce manager Jorge Jesus at Sporting Lisbon, sent Guler a message last summer about the upcoming season. In the clip, Fernandes is seen saying: "Hi Arda Guler. I just want to wish you all the best for this season.

"I hope you will enjoy it with a Portuguese coach, even more with Marcio [Sampaio] - even if he's not the greatest fitness coach you will have in your career but he's a nice guy, at least.

"I hope you enjoy it, I wish you all the best for this season. I hope you can get many, many games and trophies with that top coach that you have this season and enjoy."

The video has now been circulated once again by United fans who hope it can help their club to sign the exciting young talent during this summer's transfer window - and they have urged Fernandes to help their team get the deal over the line.

Here's a selection of what fans had to say on social media:

It remains to be seen whether Guler's rumoured release clause will be activated by United this summer, as Erik ten Hag prioritises a new centre-forward and dynamic midfielder with Harry Kane and Mason Mount the top targets.
