Ruben Amorim is reportedly “determined” to keep Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United beyond the summer transfer window amid his links with Al-Nassr.

According to a report by Football Insider, Bruno Fernandes is the subject of interest from Al-Nassr. The Manchester United captain has also been a target for Al-Hilal in the summer transfer window, with the big-spending Saudi Pro League giants failing with a bid to sign him earlier this summer.

The latest report has revealed Ruben Amorim’s stance on the Manchester United captain’s long-term future, as the former Sporting CP manager is “determined” to keep him at Old Trafford beyond the summer transfer window. That may not bother Al-Nassr, as they have recently focused on signing Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich.

Bruno Fernandes and his impact at Manchester United

Bruno Fernandes has been one of the best players in the world since joining Manchester United from Sporting CP in a deal worth €55 million in January 2020. The 30-year-old playmaker did not take long to establish a foothold at Old Trafford, and he has been a pivotal figure for the struggling Premier League giants, despite their struggles in the last half a decade.

The Portuguese international has turned out nearly 300 times thus far for Manchester United while amassing 98 goals and 86 assists. Meanwhile, Fernandes has been Manchester United’s club captain since the 2023/24 season, with Erik ten Hag handing him the additional responsibility after Harry Maguire’s stature and stock plummeted.

What next?

While Bruno Fernandes has been exceptional for Manchester United, his long-term future has been uncertain throughout the summer transfer window amid his links with Saudi Pro League clubs. Al-Hilal pursued him for several weeks, and they wanted to submit a record fee to secure his services.

However, the former Sporting CP captain rejected Al-Hilal’s advances, eager to continue his spell with Manchester United. That stance has not stopped Al-Nassr from pursuing Fernandes, who has recently reiterated his desire to remain at Old Trafford beyond the summer transfer window.

The latest stance has boosted the 30-year-old Portuguese playmaker’s prospects, as Ruben Amorim is “determined for the Manchester United captain to stay” at Old Trafford. So, a summer move to the Saudi Pro League is not on the cards for Fernandes.
