Ruben Amorim has said that he understands the transfer speculation that we want to keep Bruno Fernandes, but the Portugal star at Old Trafford. Speculation is mounted on the Manchester United Talisman after a difficult season for the club.
Reports from the Saudi Pro League emerged, but Amorim was clear that he wanted to keep the services of his captain. Al-Hilal would be ready to submit an important offer for the top goalscorer from United.
Fernandes, 30, has registered 19 goals and 18 assists this season, despite the Red Devils living at the bottom of the Premier League and played a key role in the club that reached the semi-final of the Europa League. The midfielder saw speculation about his position at the club last summer, but eventually signed a contract until 2027, with an option for another year, in August.
And Amorim would dislike an important player while trying to transform the Fortuin of United. The united head coach has the opportunity that his star player already left Real Madrid at the end of the season, already rejected and was again confirmed that he was again committed to keeping Fernandes in the club on Wednesday.
“I think it's easy to understand that [transfer speculation]Not only because of the figures, but also the way he plays, “Amorim said in his press conference prior to Athletic Bilbao.
“He is a top player and we need players top players. He is a leader, the captain.
“It is of course that people want Bruno, but we want to keep him. He is one of the top players in the world.”
Earlier in his term of office of Manchester United, Amorim claimed that his side was the worst in the history of the club. The 40-year-old boss was asked about those comments with the club now about the Europa League final.
“I think you should see the quotes right now, so that things can change. If you look at the Premier League, since I arrive, we are the worst team since I arrived.
“At the end of this season we can be the worst team in the Premier League history with a European title. This season is really disappointing for everyone, but nothing will change. At that moment I sometimes have to think a little more.”
Alejandro Garnacho also stood for the media and had few problems with his manager's comments. The young winger is simply aimed at earning a place in the Champions League.
“We know that we are not doing great in the Premier League. But the manager said earlier that we followed the rules and tomorrow is a final, and we will face it as if it is 0-0.
“If we win the Europa League, we will be in the Champions League and we will be confronted with a different mentality and in a different way next season.”
