Bruno Fernandes told he'd 'fit like a glove' at Real Madrid as potential Luka Modric replacement with Man Utd exit talk ramping up

<p>Former United assistant coach Rene Meulensteen believes if Madrid comes calling for the Portugal star this summer, he would settle in very nicely there. With star midfielder <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luka-modric-play-forties-real-madrid-midfielder-decision-future-contract-running-down/bltfa8dfb4eeb04ffe8" target="_blank">Luka Modric turning 40 this year</a>, the Dutchman says Fernandes could be the heir apparent to the veteran at Los Blancos.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://www.pokerfirma.com/" target="_blank">Poker Firma</a>: “I think people sometimes question the way Bruno Fernandes likes to get his feelings across. But one thing for me is certain – he’s an absolute winner. He plays all the games, he’s never injured, and he’s very committed to Manchester United and wants the best for the club. Every footballer has ambitions. I’m sure he wants to win trophies for Man United, but if a team like Real Madrid were to come knocking for him in the summer, he would fit like a glove there. Luka Modric is turning 40 soon and Madrid need someone in midfield with that kind of passing range who can supply Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe. With Bruno Fernandes’ passing range, Real Madrid would be unbelievable, and their forward line would become even better!”</p>

WHAT RENE MEULENSTEEN SAID

<p>Fernandes admitted he had the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bruno-fernandes-reveals-approaches-other-club-explains-why-new-man-utd-contract/blt4a03905dac5c0442" target="_blank">chance to leave United last summer</a> but ended up staying and signing a new contract. But if the Red Devils continue to languish in the bottom half of the Premier League, the 30-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bruno-fernandes-exit-fears-transfer-window-man-utd-legend-warns-ruben-amorim-losing-captain-really-difficult/blt32d2d2a4858dc083" target="_blank">may consider his future.</a> And if <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-90m-bruno-fernandes-transfer-man-utd-real-madrid-impossible/blt8e875f52f0b020b6" target="_blank">Madrid come calling</a>, that may be too good an offer to refuse. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United will hope Fernandes is on top form when they host bitter rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.</p>
