Man Utd transfer list ‘every player’ after Europa League heartbreak with Bruno Fernandes tipped for sensational transfer
Manchester United Face Financial Crisis After Europa League Final Defeat, Open to Selling Entire Squad Including Bruno Fernandes
Manchester United’s crushing 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final has sent shockwaves through the club, not only on the pitch but also behind the scenes. The loss has significantly deepened the club’s financial woes and could trigger a massive summer overhaul, with major decisions looming for new head coach Ruben Amorim, who is preparing for his first pre-season since being appointed last November.
The Red Devils had been hoping to cap off their season with a trophy and, more importantly, secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. That qualification would have injected an estimated £100 million into the club’s coffers—revenue they were counting on to help stabilize the financial situation under the leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and new CEO Omar Berrada. Instead, they are now staring down the barrel of a summer without European football of any kind for the first time in nearly a decade.
According to The Mirror, the club is now considering unprecedented steps to address what has been described as a “catastrophic financial black hole.” In a drastic measure, Manchester United are reportedly willing to listen to offers for every single player in the squad. No one, not even the club captain or star names, is considered untouchable as the leadership seeks to balance the books and reshape the squad in Amorim’s image.
One of the most high-profile players potentially on the chopping block is Bruno Fernandes. The 30-year-old Portuguese international has been one of United’s standout performers since joining from Sporting CP in January 2020, but his future at Old Trafford is now uncertain. Fernandes has been heavily linked with a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League, with Al Hilal believed to be ready to break the British transfer record to sign him. Reports suggest the Saudi giants are prepared to offer Fernandes a staggering £200 million package over a three-year contract.
Following the defeat in Bilbao, Fernandes didn’t shy away from addressing his uncertain future. Speaking candidly to the media, he acknowledged that a departure could be on the cards if the club deems it necessary.
“I’ve always been honest,” Fernandes said. “If the club thinks it’s time to part ways because they want to cash in or whatever, it is what it is. Football can be like this sometimes. I’ve always said I will stay until the club tells me it’s time to go. I’m eager to achieve more and help bring Manchester United back to its former glory. But if they feel I’m no longer part of the project, then I’ll respect that decision.”
The statement highlights both Fernandes’ commitment and his pragmatic view of the situation. Though a fan favorite and a leader on the pitch, the club’s financial state may force their hand, especially if a record-breaking offer arrives.
United’s upcoming summer transfer window now promises to be one of the most dramatic in recent history. With every player theoretically up for sale, Ruben Amorim and the club’s new leadership will have the difficult task of rebuilding both the squad and the club’s image amid financial pressure and growing fan frustration.
If Fernandes and others do depart, it would mark the beginning of a new era at Old Trafford—one driven by harsh financial realities and a desperate need to reset a club that has struggled to regain its former dominance.
