Bruno Fernandes open to Brazil move

Bruno Fernandes admits he could be open to joining a Brazilian side in the future. The 28-year-old's contract at United runs until 2026, but while there is little chance of an imminent move, he would consider it as he told ESPN Brazil: "Whenever I can, I follow it, because I find Brazilian football attractive, electric football, with a lot of quality, joy, very one-on-one. "It's pure football. And I think that now, with the coaches that are there, not only the Portuguese, but also Brazilians, are increasingly developing in the tactical part. "I don't really like talking about the distant future, but it's like I said. It's attractive football, very interesting. The only thing is that the trips are very long there in Brazil (laughs). "There are many competitions, many clubs that play Libertadores and Sudamericana, very good competitions. I'm not saying no, because Brazilian football is very attractive, and we never know the future."
