Benfica left-back Alvaro Fernandez has insisted he is focused solely on his club amid reports linking him. With a return to former club Manchester United.
The Red Devils have a problem at left-back with both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia out injured. Forcing Diogo Dalot to temporarily take over.UFABET
That has led to reports that United could bring Fernandez back to remedy the situation. With a buy-back clause included in his sale to Benfica last summer.
However, Fernandez revealed that he is now determined to do his best with the “Lisbon Eagles” and is not interested in any rumors.
“I only think about Benfica.” Fernandez said. “I only think about this place. I try to maintain a good level of play. Try to help the team as much as I can. I’m just another player in the team.”
As for the price of buying him back to Old Trafford again. According to Portuguese media Record, it is reported to be 16 million pounds.
United have been plagued by left-back troubles for more than a year. With Luke Shaw making just 15 appearances since the start of last season. And Tyrell Malacia not kicking a ball in United colours since May 2023. It meant the prospect of Alvaro Fernandez making progress at Benfica this season. Was inevitably going to lead to questions being asked of United’s decision to let him go.
