Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has emphasized his desire to retain team captain Bruno Fernandes amid swirling transfer speculation.
In a press briefing today, Amorim described Fernandes as a pivotal figure in the club’s ongoing project, highlighting the midfielder’s significance to the team’s future plans.
This statement comes shortly after rising uncertainty regarding Fernandes’ future, following remarks he made in the previous week that have fueled exit rumours.
Despite Manchester United’s disappointing season—culminating in a 15th-place finish in the English Premier League—Fernandes consistently delivered standout performances.
The Red Devils concluded the campaign with a narrow 1-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur, a result that officially ended their hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.
These developments have cast a shadow over Fernandes’s stay at Old Trafford.
Reports suggest that Al Hilal, a dominant force in the Saudi Pro League, is ready to make a jaw-dropping £100 million bid to lure the 30-year-old midfielder away from England—should he be inclined to end his tenure with the Premier League giants.
Nonetheless, Amorim reiterated his commitment to keeping Fernandes:
“He’s really important for us and really important for what we want to build with this team.”
Amorim further explained that during the final match—where the team played without any competitive pressure—Fernandes stepped up with strong leadership:
“The last game the team was without pressure, they performed quite well, everybody wants the ball, the team has different moments and in different moments Bruno [Fernandes] takes responsibility.”
