Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has rubbished reports linking him with a January move to Barcelona.

The Portugal international has endured a frustration third season in English football, scoring just once in his last 14 matches in all competitions.

Fernandes has faced criticism for his performances this season as well as his attitude, with former United defender Gary Neville hitting out at the midfielder for “whinging” in matches.

It comes amid reports of dressing room discontent at Old Trafford and a lack of unity under interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

The Daily Mail claim as many as 17 players at currently unhappy at Old Trafford, with Fernandes among those to have been linked with a move away from the club.

Portuguese outlet SPORT TV claim the midfielder has been offered to Barcelona in January.

However, Fernandes has hit back at those reports with a brutal response on Instagram.

Commenting on SPORT TV’s post, Fernandes wrote: “And I thought the new year only started a few days ago, yet we’re already on April 1!

“Or is this once again just bad journalism?”

Fernandes is the latest player to speak publicly about the situation at Manchester United, following the likes of Marcus Rashford and Fred.

Rashford posted an emotional message to the club’s supporters on Saturday in which he reaffirmed his commitment to United.

"I'm not sulking, I'm not unhappy, am I disappointed in some of my performances? Of course I am,” he wrote.

"I'm my own biggest critic. It's been a tough start but I'm determined to prove my worth.

"My dedication and my desire to be here should never be in question. I love this club."

Meanwhile, Fred has also hit out at so-called “fake news” regarding the United squad.

“Over the past few days I have read several fake news [articles] involving my name and other MUFC athletes,” wrote the Brazilian.

“I’m not in the habit of answering controversial stuff publicly, but this time I will have to.

“I just want to say that I am very happy here and I have never expressed any dissatisfaction and the possibility of leaving the club.

“Don’t get misled by fake news. We will continue to work with great dedication to pursue our goals.”
