Manchester United coach Robin Amorim says that Bruno Fernandez is “one of the best players in the world” and not for sale

Today, Robin Amorim described Bruno Fernandez as “clearly one of the best players in the world” and said he wanted him to stay in Manchester United.

Fernandez has been linked this week with Saudi Hillal with the Pro Legue team capable of providing the wages of the Portuguese midfielder to leave Old Trafford to the Middle East.

Speaking before the European League clash on tomorrow night with Athletic Bilbao, Amorim explained that he wanted to remain the captain and be a major part of a group’s reform.

“It is easy to understand (its importance) not only because of the numbers, but the way he plays and the things he did in the five years here,” he said about Fernandez, who scored 19 goals and added 16 passes in 52 games this season.

“He is a better player and we need senior players. He is a captain. He is the captain. So he is really important.

“It is normal for there to be many clubs that want a player like Bruno, but we want to keep our best players. It is clear that Bruno is one of the best players in the world.

“So our idea does not change. We want Bruno clearly here.”

Everything is possible tomorrow night – Amorim

The United is heading to the second leg of the semi -finals against the Basque side with The 3-0 feature of the first match in Saint Mames.

Athletic went as slight preferences, but he saw that Gameplan separated when defender Danny Vivian was sent after 35 minutes due to a mistake in Rasmus Holund that led to a penalty kick.

Amorim was quickly highlighting the speed that things could change, and stressed the need for players to focus fully on the task on hand.

“If you look at our season, everything is possible. We have to understand it,” he added.

“One of the goals can change everything – the momentum of the game. One of them sends.

“Of course, this is important in the way we will do things, but we only think about winning the game tomorrow.”

Aplor is careful not to be consistent with United

The only thing that is consistent in United this season is their inconsistency.

“If you look at our team, you cannot say what will happen today,” I added.

“There are some teams in any league that you can understand that the game will be like this and they can control the narration. We cannot do that. So we need to face the game as other sellers.

“I think we need to register to go to the next round. This is how we will face the game.

“We will also have to suffer a little to go to the final and be better in small details.”

Sports absence does not make it easier

Athletic will be without Nico, Inaki Williams and Orhan Sanceet upper through injury, as well as Vivian because of the comment, but Amorim says that his team still should be cautious.

He said: “For us, it does not matter. For us, this is the first team of Bilbao games. I understand that it is difficult to play without main players. But for us, it does not matter.

“We need to go to the game – it’s final for us. So we need to go and try to win the game.”

United will be without a central defender Matigs de Legit after he was injured in Berostford on the weekend.
