It has not been a great start for the men in red from Manchester. Even the inclusion of their "GOAT" has not helped them in many ways this season. The dressing scenarios have not been great either. Meantime, their biggest prospect Bruno Fernandes has put a hold on the new Manchester United contract. Therefore, this might be an interesting January transfer window in 2022. Sportz Point dugs deep into this big premier league transfer news.

"Bruno Fernandes is unhappy at United", Mirror reported post the match against Aston Villa where United only got one point. However, Bruno was on point with two goals without Cristiano Ronaldo. This took his goal tally of the season to seven goals and 47 in total.
Bruno wants parity in fees
Although despite all of his contributions to Manchester United's success since arriving from Sporting, he has not been paid the worth he should get. Actually, Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed United's last match against Aston Villa earns four times more than Bruno. Even, goalkeeper David De Gea earns three times more than Bruno. This is one of the biggest reasons for this premier league transfer news.

In addition, new summer signings like Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho earns twice than Bruno. Even three of his mid-field partners Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial earn twice than him. This leads the midfielder and his representatives to push for a £100,000 a week basic salary from United.
Rangnick's 4-2-22 tactics is an issue
Moreover, with Ralf Rangnick's appointment, Bruno has been forced to play in a 4-2-2-2 formation which means Bruno has to share his number 10 role with another player. Even some of the times when Rangnick makes some attacking changes he has been pushed down to defensive midfield role for the same of the team. This makes him unhappy too.
Against Aston Villa, Bruno found the net twice when Rangnick was forced to make a 4-3-2-1 formation. "I think we get a perfect result to be in the perfect position to score even more goals. Get the third goal and finish the game", Bruno said in the post-match interview.
It is expected that the new contract will only be considered till May 2022. Till then the world will know if Manchester United will be playing the UEFA Champions League or not in the next season.
