Ruben Amorim says he understands why Al-Hilal want to sign Bruno Fernandes, but is determined to hold onto his Manchester United captain.
The Saudi Pro League club are prepared to break the British transfer record to buy Fernandes this summer and pay him around £200million over a three-year contract following talks with his camp.
But Amorim knows how important the 30-year-old is to United’s plans after seeing his Portuguese compatriot contribute 19 goals and 18 assists this season, and has no intention of letting Fernandes leave in the summer.
‘I think it is easy to understand (his importance), not just because of the numbers but the way he plays, the importance that he has during his five years here,’ said Amorim.
