Amorim’s view on Bruno Fernandes’ potential exit revealed as Real Madrid readies a huge bid to entice the Man Utd midfielder.
Ruben Amorim Opposes Bruno Fernandes Sale Amid Real Madrid’s Pursuit
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has reportedly made his stance clear to the club’s hierarchy regarding the potential departure of captain Bruno Fernandes. With Real Madrid preparing a £90 million bid for the Portuguese midfielder, Sir Jim Ratcliffe faces a defining moment in his leadership at Old Trafford.
Fernandes has been one of United’s most consistent performers since his arrival, amassing 95 goals and 82 assists in 277 appearances, a remarkable record for an attacking midfielder. Even at 30 years old, he remains a valuable asset both on the pitch and in the transfer market.
Despite financial constraints and Profit and Sustainability rules, Amorim has urged the club not to entertain Madrid’s offer. Under his management, United has struggled for consistency, making Fernandes’ 12 goals and nine assists in 27 games crucial to the team’s stability.
Madrid reportedly sees Fernandes as the ideal successor to Luka Modric, who is nearing the end of his legendary career. However, selling him could alienate fans and disrupt United’s midfield, especially with no clear replacement lined up.
While Ratcliffe previously dismissed selling Fernandes, the financial appeal of a £90 million offer could prove tempting. The decision will ultimately shape United’s future—do they cash in and rebuild or hold onto their captain and risk missing out on other
signings?
