Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim insists that Bruno Fernandes will stay if the club shows improvement amid Saudi clubs’ interest. Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal have made an incredible offer to Fernandes and United to lure him during the summer.
However, despite the enormous bid, Amorim’s words show that the United boss wants his 30-year-old captain to stay put. The Red Devils are facing major financial problems after losing the Europa League final, losing out on next season’s Champions League.
The Champions League competition would have helped United financially due to the enormous rewards that each participation and victory deliver. The Red Devils are now facing a tense transfer window, willing to sell many players in a major squad overhaul.
Saudi pro League club Al-Hilal are ready to pay around £100m for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes but Ruben Amorim wants him to stay.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Amorim highlighted that United need to give Fernandes the right reasons to stay amid Saudi interest. He said:
“It’s important for Bruno to see that we are changing a lot of things in our club. The behaviour, the everyday organisation, the pace of training. All these things, if he sees that we are doing that across all levels, he will want to stay at this club. He loves this club.”
The current squad has failed to adjust to the tactical demands of Amorim, as the Portuguese intend to recruit players. United’s transfer budget depends on the players they could sell during the summer, but many of their players lack value.
In the middle of this financial chaos, a £100 million offer from Al-Hilal for Fernandes has the football world in suspense. While Amorim wants Fernandes to stay, the management could force the decision due to the financial benefits of the deal.
However, Fernandes has played a pivotal role for the club this season and possesses an immense desire to help United. The Red Devils cannot afford to lose too many players or risk damaging the core, further hurting Amorim’s project.
