Manchester United's star player, Bruno Fernandes, might leave for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia. The club's money troubles, caused by missing European competitions, have sparked transfer rumors.
Manager Rúben Amorim thinks otherwise. He believes that Fernandes still wants to stay at Manchester United and prove his worth.
Al Hilal's mega offer shakes Manchester United
Manchester United had a bad season, finishing 15th in the Premier League, and they won't play in European competitions next year. This has hurt their budget, so they need to raise money. Al Hilal, a top Saudi club, wants to sign United's captain, Bruno Fernandes, and is offering £80 million to £100 million.
They also want to pay him £700,000 a week, much more than his current £280,000 a week at United. Fernandes, who is currently 30 years old, scored 19 goals last season and is United's key player. Al Hilal's big money could tempt United to sell him to fix their finances. The club thinks every player has a price, but losing Fernandes could hurt their plans to rebuild the team. His agent has talked to Al Hilal, but nothing is decided yet.

Ruben Amorim's stance and Bruno Fernandes' future
Rúben Amorim, United's boss, is sure that Fernandes wants to stay at the club. After a 3-1 win in a recent game, Amorim said,
'I don't think so,'
when asked if Fernandes would leave. He added,
'I feel he wants to stay for sure with Man United, you never know but this is the clear feeling I have now.'
Amorim believes United can find other ways to make money without selling their captain.
'The club can find other ways to make money,'
he said.
Bruno Fernandes has been a leader since joining in 2020, but the lack of European games might make him think about leaving. Al Hilal wants him before the Club World Cup, which adds pressure. While Amorim trusts Fernandes to stay, the player hasn't said he's waiting for sure. Fans are worried but hope their captain will stay to help United get better.
Manchester United's money problems are serious, but selling Fernandes could cause trouble.
The money from Al Hilal could help sign new players, like Matheus Cunha, who might join soon. However, losing Fernandes could weaken the team's midfield and make things hard for Ruben Amorim.

The manager believes in Fernandes, but the huge offer from Al Hilal keeps the rumors going. Fernandes is still playing for United on their tour, but his future isn't clear. The next few days will be important as Al Hilal tries to finalize the deal. United fans are nervous, hoping their star player stays to lead the team forward.

Saab CEO Micael Johansson sees Europe streamlining defence demands amid spending push
Reuters FILE PHOTO: President and CEO of Saab Group Micael Johansson attends a meeting with Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Saab Marcus Wallenberg, at the Planalto Palace in Brasilia, Brazil November 23, 2023. FILE PHOTO; REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino/File Photo The European defence market needs to align requirements and demand in order to create scale as it attempts to boost capability, the CEO of Swedish defence group Saab said. "The important thing is that you cannot have every country, sort of tailoring the requirements to different sorts of versions, then it becomes difficult," Micael Johansson told Reuters in an interview on Saturday on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue security meeting in Singapore. The European Union's 23 members are expected to agree at a summit in June to raise the defence spending target above the current 2% of national output as countries bend to pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to spend more. "Europe has a big catch up to do in terms of capability that we need to have in place to take care of our own security," Johansson said, adding that defence capabilities will still need to be built up even if a peace deal in Ukraine is achieved. Beyond improving capabilities in Europe, he said that he has seen a greater willingness for collaboration between countries other than the U.S. for defence products, and that European players are prepared to establish sovereign capabilities in the countries they partner. "That's what we're prepared to do, if we're part of this of course, to help, and that includes technology transfer and collaboration, and not just selling," he said. The Thai Air Force chose to purchase its Gripen fighter jets in August last year, selecting Saab over Lockheed Martin's F-16 fighter jets even though Thailand is a security ally of the United States. He also noted that the company's fighter jet programme is building more unmanned capabilities as air defence systems and lethal weapons capabilities improve. "Because of the congested environment that you have to operate in, the suppression of enemy air defence systems, you have to take bigger risks and you have to think about attrition. Then you don't want to send your fighter pilots into something that's really, really dangerous," he said.

Lionel Messi Double As Inter Miami Hit Five Past Columbus
Lionel Messi scored twice and created two more as Inter Miami warmed up for the Club World Cup in style with a 5-1 win over the Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer on Saturday. Miami will open the new FIFA tournament on June 14 against Egyptian and African champions Al Ahly and after a major dip in form they have found their touch again in their last two MLS games. A 4-2 win over Montreal in midweek, with Messi and Luis Suarez scoring two goals each, eased the tensions around Javier Mascherano's team and their renewed confidence was evident from the outset. Miami were helped by some uncharacteristically loose defending from Columbus, who have been one of the most consistent performers in MLS over the past three seasons but were easily opened up by Messi and Company. Argentine Tadeo Allende opened the scoring in the 13th minute when Messi, who had dropped deep into midfield, sent him goalwards with a long ball over the top and the forward confidently slotted home. Two minutes later, Columbus's Guatemalan goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen, standing in for the injured Patrick Schulte, then gifted Miami's second when he hesitated with the ball at his feet and passed straight to Messi, of all people, with the World Cup winner then attempting to chip him. Hagen scrambled, getting an outstretched palm on the ball but the shot looped into the net to make it 2-0 and leave the visitors in deep trouble. Messi made it three in the 24th minute when Sergio Busquets spotted the Crew defence were asleep and floated a pass over the top which Messi raced on to before lobbing the advancing Hagen. Columbus gave themselves a glimmer of hope with a thundering header from Cesar Ruvalcaba in the 58th minute but six minutes later Miami had restored their three goal advantage. Messi broke through the middle and then fed Telasco Segovia who slipped the ball outside to Suarez who buried the ball into the bottom corner. The eight-times Ballon d'Or winner was the creator again when he fed substitute Fafa Picault who broke away before a clinical finish to complete the rout. Messi now heads off for international duty with Argentina, who have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup and are away to Chile on Thursday and host Colombia on June 10.
