Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim squashed rumours of Bruno Fernandes being linked with a move away from the club. Fernandes signed a contract extension until 2027 last season and has been instrumental for the club this season despite a poor campaign for the team in general.
Fernandes has scored 16 goals and registered 15 assists in 44 matches for United this season and was recently linked with a summer move to Real Madrid. During the press conference ahead of the Nottingham Forest game, Amorim said that the 30-year-old won’t move as he has already told him that he is a player he wants at the club.
“It’s not going to happen. This is the kind of player that we want and he’s not going anywhere because I’ve already told him!”
“He’s 30 but he’s still so young because he plays 55 games every season, and between assists and goals he’s there for 30 at least. He’s the type of player we want here,” said Amorim.
‘Fernandes is really happy at Manchester United’
Amorim said that the challenge for him is to win the Premier League with Manchester United and he wants the best players to continue in the side. The United boss also claimed that the Portuguese midfielder is happy at the club and they’re in control of the situation at the moment.
Amorim feels that Fernandes is a supporter of United and wants to win trophies for the club.
“That is the challenge. We want to win the Premier League again so we want the best players to continue with us.”
“We are in control of the situation. I feel that he is really happy here especially because he understands what we want to do, and then I think he is one more supporter of Man United. He really feels it.”
“Sometimes the frustration that you see, that everybody sees and maybe says is not a good thing in a captain, it’s a sign that he wants this so bad,” said Amorim.
United will take on Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, April 1.
