EPL: Amorim desperate to keep Bruno Fernandes amid £100m offer

Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has said he wants to keep captain Bruno Fernandes at the club.

Speaking to the media today, Amorim stated that Fernandes is “really important” for what they want to achieve.

His comments come amid transfer speculation surrounding the Portugal international after his comments last week.

Fernandes shone in what was a miserable campaign for the Red Devils, who finished 15th in the Premier League.

United rounded off the season with a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, a result that cost them Champions League qualification.

This has thrown Fernandes’s future into doubt.

Al Hilal are willing to splash out a staggering £100million to bring Fernandes to the Saudi Pro League if the 30-year-old is ready to call time on his Old Trafford career.

But Amorim said: “He’s really important for us and really important for what we want to build with this team.”

He added: “The last game the team was without pressure, they performed quite well, everybody wants the ball, the team has different moments and in different moments Bruno [Fernandes] takes responsibility.”
