The agent of Bruno Fernandes has had conversations with Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal and the captain of Manchester United is supposed to seriously consider considering their lucrative contract offer seriously
Ruben Amorim has told Manchester United Chiefs to find other ways to make money instead of selling star man Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes, 30, has an offer on the table of the Saudi Aarabic club Al -Hilal worth a stunning £ 700,000 a week -and the Portuguese midfielder is considering accepting it seriously.
Because of their proposal from a three -year -old deal, Fernandes would earn no less than £ 200 million and at the same time connect with international teammate Ruben Neves and possibly Cristiano Ronaldo. Earlier this week, conversations between his agent, Miguel Pinho, and al-Hilal representatives, reportedly extended until late at night in the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyad.
They would also be willing to pay United £ 100 million, a transformational amount given their financial perilous situation. But Amorim does not want the Red Devils or Fernandes to admit to temptation.
Speaking after United had ended their tour after the season through Asia with a 3-1 win over Hong Kong, where Fernandes played 45 minutes from the opening, Amorim was asked if fans had seen the last of their captain in action.
“I don't think so I don't know for sure. Nobody knows, but I don't think,” said the Red Devil's boss. “I think he sees us take a number of actions to change all things and I think he has seen it and I think he wants to stay.
“He says no to many things, but he shows that he wants to win. He is very young, he is really good that he has to be in the best competition in the world.”
Amorim was then asked if United, who was not eligible for Europe for the first time in 11 years, was able to reject the type of money that Al-Hilal would be willing to pay for Fernandes.
“Yes, we can find another way to make money,” he replied.
Should Manchester United Bruno Fernandes sell? Say in the commentary part.
“Of course I am the manager, I am the coach, but sometimes it is the player's decision. But of course I talk to him, I explain things. I just have that feeling if he wants to stay.
“Of course he was so frustrated in many games this season, but he knows what we are doing.
“The feeling is that every time I talk to him, he wants to continue at Manchester United, but you never know.”
