Bruno Fernandes has offered to leave Manchester United if the club need to cash in on him in order to rebuild after the heartbreak of their Europa League final defeat by Tottenham.
United lost 1-0 in Bilbao yesterday courtesy of a Brennan Johnson goal, compounding a miserable season for the club.
Manager Ruben Amorim said after the defeat that if the club no longer wanted him, he would quit “without any conversation about compensation.”
Now his captain, 30, has followed suit, aware of United’s need for an overhaul of the playing staff despite financial constraints.
Fernandes has been United’s standout player for United this season but failed to make an impact against Spurs at the San Mames stadium.
The midfielder, who joined United in 2020, insisted his compatriot Amorim was still the right man to lead United, despite a terrible record since arriving at Old Trafford in November.
United have won just six league games on his watch and are 16th in the Premier League, destined for their lowest finish since relegation in 1974.
