Ruben Amorim reveals stance on Bruno Fernandes' future as Man Utd boss makes surprise admission on summer transfer plans

After United's defeat in the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur, Fernandes addressed the swirling rumours about his future. The midfielder acknowledged that the club could sell him to raise funds in the summer. The Portugal international has attracted strong interest from Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal, who have reportedly set a transfer deadline.

Amid speculation over Fernandes' future at Old Trafford, manager Amorim addressed the issue as he told reporters: "He’s really important for us and really important for what we want to build with this team."

The 40-year-old also opened up on the club's transfer plans this summer amid financial concerns after losing out on a European slot next season. Amorim said: "Without Champions League, we don’t need a big squad, we can control the squad in a better way, then we have a plan that is to bring some new players, of course... (The squad) is not going to change so much because we have FFP rules. We are not allowed to do much this summer."

The Red Devils are currently in Malaysia for a post-season tour of Asia where they are scheduled to play two friendly matches against ASEAN All-Stars XI on Wednesday and the Hong Kong national team on Friday.
