Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has reiterated the club’s intention to retain midfielder Bruno Fernandes, stating that the Portugal captain is a key figure in the team. Amorim described Fernandes as a leader and one of the top players globally, highlighting his importance to the squad. The manager’s comments come amid speculation surrounding Fernandes’ future at the club, with Amorim affirming that Manchester United has no plans to sell the player.
Fernandes, who plays as an attacking midfielder, has been with Manchester United since January 2020, joining from Sporting CP. He is known for his creative playmaking and goal-scoring ability, often taking on a significant role in the team’s attacking strategy. According to Amorim, it is natural that other clubs are interested in Fernandes, but the club is keen to keep him.
Amorim’s praise for Fernandes is consistent with his recent comments on the player’s abilities, having previously highlighted Fernandes as a key player for Manchester United. The manager’s confidence in Fernandes is evident, and he has also been vocal about the progress of other players, including Mason Mount. Manchester United’s season has been labelled as one of the worst in 40 years by Amorim, but the manager’s comments on Fernandes suggest that the club is looking to build around the midfielder.
