Manchester United have been handed a huge boost as captain Bruno Fernandez has hinted that he is staying at Manchester United for another year. Softfootball understands that the midfielder’s contract is nearing expiration.
Fernandez was instrumental to United last term as he led the team not only by captaincy but by goals contribution as they reached the finals of the Europa League. Although they lost the final 1-0 to Tottenham.
The Portuguese played 36 Premier League games last term scoring 8 times and making 10 goals. The midfielder who is close to the expiration of his career assured fans that he will stay at United.
Bruno has been linked to a few of he clubs but his focus is to take them to the greater heights. Multiple reports confirm that Al Nassr are looking to lure him to play for the club next season.
It’s thought that the club’s new coach Jorge Jesus – who gave Fernandes his Sporting Lisbon debut in 2017 – wants to make him the latest Portuguese star to embark on a Saudi switch.
Amorim will not want Bruno to go as he is currently the only attacking midfielder that can also score goals. Confirming Al Nassr’s attempt to buy the midfield this window, Sports Broadcaster, Ben Jacobs posted on his verified X handle.
He wrote:
“Bruno Fernandes plans to stay at least one more year at Manchester United. Al-Nassr made an informal approach, following on from Al-Hilal’s attempt to sign Fernandes before the Club World Cup.
“Fernandes’ position remains firm. He wants to stay at #MUFC and continue playing in Europe.“
United have had issue with transfer so far as they are still searching for a striker, midfielder and goalkeeper. Amorim has made it clear that players like Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho are unlikely to feature in his plans unless the club fails to secure suitable offers for them this summer.
Ruben Amorim explained the situation with players looking for a new club and revealed that Manchester United have a valuation for everyone, and should their valuation not be met, the players won’t be sold and instead will be reintegrated into the team.
