United Responds About Bruno Fernandes and Real Madrid, It's Official: 'We Want...'

The coach of the English team has replied to the rumors that have emerged in the last few hours

One of the Names That Has Emerged, albeit surprisingly, in Real Madrid's Orbit Is Bruno Fernandes. The '8' of Manchester United has been at the center of a short but intense saga in the transfer market, supposedly linked to the white entity. One of the Red Devils' Officials, with the footballer by his side, has put an end to all those speculations.

Rúben Amorim, in his press conference before the match against Nottingham Forest, made it clear that Bruno Fernandes "won't leave" Old Trafford at the end of the current season. When asked about his possible links to Real Madrid, information entirely originated and handled in England, Amorim has a very clear response.

The Portuguese Footballer, His Compatriot, Is a Fundamental Pillar of Manchester United's starting tactical scheme. That's why he has secured permanence in the Mancunian first team. "He's 30 years old, but he's still very young because he plays 50 or 55 matches each season", recalls the Manchester United coach, who tries to correct the club's irregular competitive course.

According to Rúben Amorim, Bruno Fernandes "is the kind of player we want here". He also reveals that one of the reasons for not betting on his departure is because this season "between assists and goals, he has at least 30" contributions for Manchester United. There is no doubt that he is an essential footballer for a club that tries to return at all costs to the European soccer elite.

Totally Ruled Out

Be that as it may, Rúben Amorim puts an end to any hint of a saga about Bruno Fernandes: "he won't go anywhere". From the offices of Valdebebas, they have closely followed that announcement, happy that this small 'case' of the transfer market has ended. Because Real Madrid wouldn't have shown excessive interest in a footballer who, theoretically, doesn't meet any of the demanding requirements of Madrid's midfield recruitment policy.

The white sports management desires the arrival of a young footballer, established in the European soccer elite and with Spanish nationality... to regain the lost ground in the national team from some time ago. Thus, the ideal candidate to assume the organizing pivot, according to those criteria, is none other than Martín Zubimendi.

The '4' of Real Sociedad Is an Officially Declared 'Desire' by Real Madrid. The search for Toni Kroos's replacement has pointed to the Txuri-Urdin midfielder as the best suited to assume that role. But the future of the Basque midfielder is much more complicated to tackle than it seems due to the constant approaches from Arsenal.

So much so that the Gunner Entity, according to information from several Radio MARCA journalists, would be closer than ever to sealing his signing. While some leave certain options for Real Madrid to break into that operation, the window of opportunity to do so would quickly narrow with each passing day... until reaching the summer market of 2025.
