Bruno signals approval, is Palmer’s transfer to MU imminent?

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has stirred excitement among fans by openly praising Cole Palmer amid rampant transfer rumors about the Chelsea star.

Last weekend was an emotional journey for both Manchester United and Bruno Fernandes personally. Under the guidance of interim coach Michael Carrick, the Red Devils secured a convincing 2-0 victory over Tottenham, with Bruno scoring the decisive goal.

This win temporarily extended United’s lead over Chelsea. However, the spotlight shifted to social media immediately after Cole Palmer shone with a hat-trick, leading "The Blues" to a 3-1 win against Wolves.

After Palmer posted images celebrating his fourth Premier League hat-trick, Bruno Fernandes unexpectedly commented: "What an incredible player" accompanied by a clapping emoji. This move instantly ignited a frenzy among Manchester United supporters.

In the context of Palmer being linked with a return to Manchester —where he spent his youth career — Bruno’s comment was seen as an open "recruitment" effort. On platform X, many fans dubbed him "Agent Bruno," hoping the United captain is secretly persuading Palmer to join Old Trafford and succeed him in the future.

Regarding Cole Palmer, the 23-year-old star responded intriguingly to the rumors. Instead of his usual "Cold Palmer" celebration, he covered his ears and blew kisses toward the stands, sending a message to those gossiping about him.

Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, Palmer said frankly: "Everyone loves to gossip, right? I don’t pay much attention to it. You’ll see how it all unfolds". He also expressed satisfaction with the playing style under new coach Liam Rosenior and hopes to regain full fitness soon after a season plagued by persistent injuries.

Although Palmer is still under contract with Chelsea until 2033, the interaction between these two Premier League stars has sparked a real buzz. For United fans, Bruno Fernandes’s gesture represents not only mutual respect among talented peers but also a hopeful "green light" for a blockbuster deal in the future.

The combination of Bruno’s experience and Palmer’s youth at Old Trafford is certainly the dream scenario every Manchester United supporter is eagerly anticipating.
