Bruno Fernandes to Saudi? Man United boss Amorim gives his view in Hong Kong
Reports say Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal are keen on signing the Old Trafford captain
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim played down suggestions Bruno Fernandes could leave the club this summer.
Reports on Friday suggested Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal could be set to launch a bid for the United captain, who was reported to be open to the move, with his agent even pictured in Riyadh.
However, speaking after his side’s 3-1 win over Hong Kong, Amorim said he did not expect the 30-year-old to leave Old Trafford.
“I don’t think so,” Amorim replied when asked if he thought this was Fernandes’ last match for the club. “I think he wants to stay.
“He’s saying no to a lot of things, but he wants to win. He needs to be in the best league in the world.”
Fernandes has been one of United’s best performers in recent seasons, but failure to qualify for Europe has put yet more pressure on the club’s finances, leading to suggestions the club would not be in a position to turn down a mega-money offer.
