Manchester United(US:MANU) Sou Hu Cai Jing·2025-10-06 08:04Core Viewpoint - The Saudi club Al Hilal attempted to sign Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes for £100 million during the summer transfer window, which caught Fernandes' attention. However, Manchester United rejected the offer. The Saudi club plans to make another attempt in the winter transfer window with a lucrative contract of £700,000 per week tax-free for Fernandes [1][8]. Group 1: Manchester United's Current Situation - Manchester United has had a poor start to the season, winning only 2 out of 6 matches and accumulating 7 points, placing them near the bottom of the league. This has raised questions about the coaching ability of manager Amoryn [1]. - Fernandes has become a focal point of controversy, as he has been assigned a defensive midfield role in Amoryn's tactical setup, which has limited his effectiveness both defensively and offensively, leading to his frustration [1][3][4]. Group 2: Tactical Issues and Player Performance - Fernandes is best suited for the attacking midfield position, where he can control the game's tempo and organize attacks. Despite Manchester United's overall struggles, Fernandes has been a key offensive player with impressive personal statistics [3]. - Amoryn remains committed to his tactical arrangement and does not plan to change the three-center-back formation, which means Fernandes is unlikely to be repositioned. Even with intervention from Manchester United's higher-ups, Amoryn has stated he will not adjust his tactics [6]. Group 3: Potential Transfer to Saudi League - Given Manchester United's poor performance and Fernandes' struggles, the Saudi league presents a timely opportunity for a transfer. The offer of £700,000 per week is feasible, but it remains uncertain whether they will continue to propose the £100 million transfer fee [8]. - The summer transfer window was seen as the best opportunity to sell Fernandes, and the winter window also represents a significant chance. If both Manchester United and Fernandes are open to this change, it could be beneficial for both parties, allowing Manchester United to adjust their squad and explore new strategies [8].
