Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, has reaffirmed his dedication to the team and expressed his strong support for manager Ruben Amorim, who is facing criticism.
On Wednesday night, May 21, Bruno Fernandes, 30, spoke to the media after their 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League final.
Remember how Tottenham defeated Manchester United to win their first-ever Europa League title thanks to a goal from Brennan Johnson in the first half?
Fernandes emphasized his wish to remain at Old Trafford and ruled out leaving the team right away despite the disappointment.
Fernandes declared, “Until the club tells me it’s time to leave, I will remain here.” “It’s what it is if the club decides it’s time to leave in order to earn some money—and football is like that sometimes.”
His remarks coincide with rumors that Al-Hilal, a Saudi Pro League team, is interested in him and is keeping a careful eye on him before the summer transfer window opens.

Fernandes also defended United boss Ruben Amorim, who has been under increasing criticism following a run of subpar performances since taking Erik ten Hag’s place last November.
After the game, Amorim acknowledged that if the board decided to fire him, he would accept the club’s decision. However, Fernandes thinks his compatriot is still the best candidate for the position.
“I believe Ruben Amorim is the right person, but it’s not my decision,” Fernandes said. “I still think he is the best coach, even if I realize it is hard to grasp. I believe he is the correct man, but the club is in a position where it is easy to switch managers because our results haven’t been satisfactory.
After a season that ended in European disappointment and ongoing uncertainty surrounding the future of several key players at the club, Manchester United now faces a crucial summer as they attempt to rebuild.
