Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made it clear — Bruno Fernandes is not leaving Old Trafford anytime soon.
Amid growing speculation linking the Portuguese star with a move to Real Madrid, Amorim has firmly shut down any chances of a summer transfer.
Fernandes has been United’s key player this season, delivering standout performances despite the team’s struggles. With 16 goals and 16 assists in all competitions, he remains their most influential figure on the pitch.
His recent form has been particularly impressive, recording seven goals and three assists in his last seven appearances.

When asked why he was so confident, Amorim doubled down on his stance. “That is the challenge. I want Bruno here. We want to win the Premier League again, and we need our best players. He plays 55 games every season, delivers 30 goal contributions, and is crucial to our plans. He’s not going anywhere.”
Amorim also highlighted Fernandes’ passion for the club. “He really feels what it means to play for Manchester United. His frustration sometimes is just a sign of how much he wants to win. That’s the kind of player we need.”
Manchester United are under no financial pressure to sell their captain, as Fernandes is under contract until 2027, with an option to extend for another year.
Since arriving in 2020, he has helped the club win both the FA Cup and EFL Cup. Now, he hopes to add the Europa League to that list, as United look to secure a spot in European competition next season.
For now, Amorim’s message is loud and clear — Bruno Fernandes is staying put.
