Manchester United's star player, Bruno Fernandes, might leave for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. The club’s money troubles, caused by missing European competitions, have sparked transfer rumors. Manager Rúben Amorim thinks otherwise. He believes that Fernandes still wants to stay at Manchester United and prove his worth.

Al Hilal’s mega offer shakes Manchester United

Manchester United had a bad season, finishing 15th in the Premier League, and they won’t play in European competitions next year. This has hurt their budget, so they need to raise money. Al Hilal, a top Saudi club, wants to sign United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, and is offering £80 million to £100 million.
They also want to pay him £700,000 a week, much more than his current £280,000 a week at United. Fernandes, who is currently 30 years old, scored 19 goals last season and is United’s key player. Al Hilal’s big money could tempt United to sell him to fix their finances. The club thinks every player has a price, but losing Fernandes could hurt their plans to rebuild the team. His agent has talked to Al Hilal, but nothing is decided yet.

Ruben Amorim’s stance and Bruno Fernandes’ future

Rúben Amorim, United’s boss, is sure that Fernandes wants to stay at the club. After a 3-1 win in a recent game, Amorim said, “I don’t think so,” when asked if Fernandes would leave. He added, “I feel he wants to stay for sure with Man United, you never know but this is the clear feeling I have now.” Amorim believes United can find other ways to make money without selling their captain. “The club can find other ways to make money,” he said.
Bruno Fernandes has been a leader since joining in 2020, but the lack of European games might make him think about leaving. Al Hilal wants him before the Club World Cup, which adds pressure. While Amorim trusts Fernandes to stay, the player hasn’t said he’s waiting for sure. Fans are worried but hope their captain will stay to help United get better.Manchester United’s money problems are serious, but selling Fernandes could cause trouble. The money from Al Hilal could help sign new players, like Matheus Cunha, who might join soon.
