According to reports, Bernardo Silva's proposed switch to Man Utd is off, with the midfielder now set to stay at Manchester City . Despite strong links and advanced talks, the transfer has broken down. It's a setback for Man Utd, who had hoped to strengthen their squad in a key position before the deadline. The transfer has collapsed, but Bernardo Silva could still emerge as a target for other linked sides such as Inter Miami CF, Chicago and Atletico. So far this season, Man Utd are steady at both ends (1.76 goals scored per game, 1.36 goals conceded per game). The role for Bernardo Silva would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Manchester City are said to be exploring Enzo Fernandez, Ibrahim Maza and Givairo Read with Man Utd likewise connected to Joaquin Seys, Teun Koopmeiners and Declan Rice.
