Manchester United players have begged one of their star men not to leave the club amid recent links regarding his future. It is set to be a turbulent summer at Old Trafford, with reports suggesting that every player could be up for sale in order to earn funds to allow Ruben Amorim to build his squad for next season.
Alejandro Garnacho is believed to be one of the players who has already been told that he will need to look for another club following his reaction to being left out of the starting XI for the Europa League final. However, it is not the Argentine the United players are worried about losing, as they have pleaded their case to another one of their teammates.

United Players Beg Bruno Fernandes Not to Leave
The club captain has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia
According to a report from The Sun, several United players have privately reached out to Bruno Fernandes with heartfelt pleas of “don’t leave us” following fresh rumours linking him to a lucrative switch to Saudi Arabia.
Although he faced sharp criticism in the wake of United’s Europa League loss to Tottenham on Wednesday, Fernandes is still seen by many within the club as their only elite-level performer.
Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal are reportedly prepared to table a £100 million bid for the 30-year-old, alongside a staggering weekly salary of £700,000 - an offer that could lure him away from Old Trafford to the Gulf state. With United grappling with severe financial pressures after missing out on Champions League qualification, offloading their talismanic playmaker could provide a critical financial boost for a potential squad overhaul.
Speaking after the defeat, Fernandes didn’t shy away from the possibility of a summer exit, acknowledging the club’s financial difficulties.
He stated: “If the club thinks it’s time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in, it is what it is.”

While the comments made about his future appeared to reflect professionalism and selflessness, with Fernandes prepared to leave for the benefit of the club, it has reportedly unsettled parts of the squad, who rely heavily on his leadership and creativity on the pitch.
According to an insider, numerous players have personally encouraged Fernandes to remain at the club. “Bruno may be criticised but the players know what a talent he is,” the source said.
“He can be demanding but they all respect him and sent him messages letting him know how valued he is. If he leaves, the dressing room would fall apart.”
Manager Amorim has also claimed that Fernandes could leave the club if they don't turn around their fortunes, though he has publicly stated that he wants his captain to stay and help him change United for the better.
