Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim looked confident while discussing his team’s captain, Bruno Fernandes was offered a lucrative deal from Saudi Arabia’s club Al Hilal. As per reports, Al Hilal came up with a three-year contract proposal for United skipper Bruno. According to The Daily Mail, the Saudi Pro League team are ready to splurge £65 million ($86.5m) per year to sign up the Portuguese. However, amidst this proposal, ESPN has asserted that the 30-year-old is satiated with his ongoing stint in United and has no plans of parting ways with Old Trafford. Amorim has also stated that the English club won’t permit the 30 year-old to leave.
In the latest development, Amorim spoke to the media and talked about his compatriot Bruno and said, "Not only Saudi Arabia, but many clubs want to sign Bruno Fernandes and are ready to go to extraordinary lengths but Bruno is not for sale. He will be our player for many years to come." Bruno has looked in fine form in this season as he has notched up 19 goals and 9 assists in 53 games.
