Bruno Fernandes’ Future at Manchester United Confirmed by Head Coach Ruben Amorim
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has firmly stated that Bruno Fernandes will not be leaving the club this summer, despite speculation linking the midfielder with a potential move to Real Madrid.
Fernandes, who has been instrumental in Manchester United’s performances this season, signed a contract extension until 2027 last August, and Amorim made it clear that the 30-year-old will remain at Old Trafford.
When asked about the rumors, Amorim confidently responded, “No, it’s not going to happen,” during his pre-match press conference ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday. Amorim then added with a grin, “I’ve already told him he’s not going anywhere,” suggesting a light-hearted yet resolute message.
Bruno Fernandes’ Impact at Manchester United
Fernandes has been in exceptional form this season, scoring 16 goals across all competitions, making him one of the club’s most reliable performers. No other player at Manchester United has scored more than 10 goals this term. In the week leading up to the recent international break, Fernandes scored five goals, including a memorable hat-trick in the Europa League’s round of 16 victory against Real Sociedad.
With his impressive tally of 31 goals and assists in the Premier League this season, Fernandes ranks among the top performers, only trailing behind Mohamed Salah (54) and Erling Haaland (33).
Amorim’s Praise for Fernandes’ Leadership and Drive
Amorim, who previously coached Fernandes at Sporting CP, praised his star player for his consistency and commitment. Despite the team’s struggles in the league, where they currently sit in 13th place, Amorim expressed that Fernandes’ influence remains invaluable.
“We want to win the Premier League again, so we need the best players to stay with us. Bruno is 30, but he’s still so young in terms of his performance levels—he plays 55 games a season and is always contributing with goals and assists,” said Amorim.
The coach continued to highlight Fernandes’ passion for the club, saying, “He is really happy here because he understands what we want to achieve. He’s also a Manchester United supporter, and that’s why you see the frustration when things aren’t going well. It’s a sign of how much he cares. That’s exactly the kind of player we want at this club.”
Conclusion: Fernandes’ Importance to Manchester United’s Future
As Manchester United continues its campaign in the Premier League, Amorim’s comments underline Fernandes’ critical role in the team’s future ambitions. The 30-year-old is expected to remain a key figure at the club as they aim to regain their top form and challenge for major honors once again
