Manchester United Affirms Commitment to Bruno Fernandes
Manchester United officials have categorically dismissed rumors suggesting the club was willing to part ways with Bruno Fernandes last summer, affirming the midfielder’s pivotal role in their future plans.
Despite notable interest from prominent clubs in the Saudi Pro League, insiders at Old Trafford have expressed a unified stance on retaining Fernandes as the team captain, as reported by journalist Ben Jacobs.
Interest from Saudi Arabian clubs such as Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ittihad surged during the last transfer window, with discussions surrounding a significant transfer deal.
The financial offers made were substantial, leading to speculation that United might consider selling a player nearing his thirties.
United’s Stance on Fernandes
However, club sources maintain that selling Fernandes was never on the table.
Currently, Manchester United’s leadership continues to regard Fernandes as an integral part of their sporting vision, particularly under head coach Ruben Amorim and the football framework governed by INEOS.
Fernandes is recognized internally not only as a key playmaker on the field but also as a role model in training and a vital presence for team morale during this transitional phase.
Recently, Fernandes made remarks that led to speculation about his future with the club, igniting discussions among fans and analysts, although his earlier statements painted a contrasting picture.
In October, Fernandes expressed confidence in his standing within the club.
“The manager spoke with me,” he stated. “He said I was still part of the project. He wanted me to stay. The club echoed the same sentiment. I felt included in the plan.”
