“If He Stays, I’m Leaving”: Bruno Fernandes Reportedly Issues Exit Warning Amid Manchester United Crisis – But Is It True?
Following Manchester United’s devastating 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in what was claimed to be a Europa League final, rumors have emerged suggesting that club captain Bruno Fernandes is contemplating an exit.
According to these reports, Fernandes has allegedly issued an ultimatum, threatening to leave the club if a particular individual—presumably blamed for the defeat—remains within the team’s ranks.
The defeat reportedly crushed United’s hopes for a European trophy and also confirmed their absence from European competitions next season, dealing a blow to the club’s finances and global standing.
In the midst of this reported chaos, Fernandes, a consistent top performer and passionate leader for the Red Devils, is rumored to be entertaining a move to Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi club Al-Hilal is said to be preparing a massive £115 million transfer offer, alongside a staggering £65 million annual salary for the Portuguese midfielder.
Speculation has also centered on manager Ruben Amorim, who allegedly took over at Manchester United in this narrative. It’s said Amorim expressed his intent to keep Fernandes but was also ready to step down if fans or club officials lost confidence in him.
The final match, however, supposedly exposed continued weaknesses within the squad, with only Amad Diallo being highlighted for a solid performance, while others like Rasmus Højlund struggled to make an impact.
Despite the emotional reaction the story has provoked among fans, a closer look reveals serious credibility issues. For starters, none of the mainstream or reputable news sources—such as Sky Sports, BBC, The Athletic, or trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano—have reported anything close to Fernandes issuing threats or ultimatums.
In reality, Fernandes has recently spoken about evaluating his future after international duties this summer but never made any direct statements indicating frustration with specific players or coaches.
Additionally, no confirmed reports exist of Al-Hilal making a concrete bid, let alone offering such an enormous salary package. It’s also important to note that Ruben Amorim is not currently managing Manchester United.
The last verified information placed Erik ten Hag as the manager, and while Amorim had been linked to several managerial roles across Europe, there has been no official appointment at Old Trafford.
Finally, no such Europa League final has occurred between Manchester United and Tottenham, and certainly not one involving the described events. The entire situation appears to be either fictional, exaggerated, or fan-made speculation meant for dramatic effect, rather than based on confirmed facts.
