Amorim determined to keep Fernandes at Man Utd despite Saudi interest

Ruben Amorim has insisted he wants to keep Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes despite interest from Saudi Arabia, labelling the Portugal international "one of the top players in the world".

The 30-year-old playmaker has been a key figure at Old Trafford since joining from Sporting Lisbon in 2020 and scored two goals in last week's 3-0 Europa League semi-final first-leg win at Athletic Bilbao.

But the build-up to Thursday's return fixture in Manchester has been dominated by talk that Saudi club Al-Hilal are poised to make a big-money offer for Fernandes.

But Amorim, who said March he told Fernandes he was "not going anywhere" following links to Real Madrid, was similarly defiant amid talk of a post-season move to Saudi Arabia.
