Includes Ratcliffe and Amorim’s potential fallout and the situation regarding Real Betis pursuit for Antony
Manchester United-linked Victor Osimhen has notched his 26th goal in the league and 37 in all competition for Galatasaray.
A back-post header converted in characteristic style as the Nigerian looks set to have played his final game at the club ahead of a summer of heavy speculation.
The Man United manager would go on to say more on Fernandes’ potential departure;
Amorim on the Bruno situation: “Of course, I am the manager, I am the coach but sometimes it is the decision of the player.
“I talk with him, I explain things and I just have that feeling – when you talk with someone, you have the feeling if he wants to stay. Sometimes, in a lot of games this season he was so frustrated, but he knows what we are doing.
“So, the feeling that I have every time I speak with him is that he wants to continue for sure in Manchester United, but you never know.”
Sacha Tavolieri reports that Bruno Fernandes has until TOMORROW to accept or reject Al-Hilal’s offer – they have given him everything he asked for.
The United captain played the first half of their post-season friednly against Hong Kong before being subbed with Ruben Amorim fronting a defiant stance in his thoughts on Fernandes.
“I think he wants to stay. He is saying no to a lot of things. The club can find other ways to make money. The feeling I get is that he wants to continue for sure with Man United, you never know,” Amorim said in his post-match press conference.
Clubs hoping to capture Bryan Mbeumo have been cautioned by Brentford manager Thomas Frank that a summer transfer will not be simple.
Mbeumo, who scored 20 Premier League goals from the flank and provided seven assists during his incredible season with the Bees, is anticipated to attract transfer interest this summer.
“It is clear that if he is to be sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount,” Frank said of Mbeumo to Viaplay. “It is a lot. Mucho. Really a lot.
“Then it is clear that it is impossible to replace him one for one. It cannot be done. There is a reason why he costs x number of million pounds, and we do not have x number of million pounds to buy for.
“I would say that I would be surprised if a lot of big clubs don’t look at him. I would be surprised with what he has to offer.
“How many wingers score 20 goals for a mid-table club? And then with seven assists plus his work ethic. And his character. All these things mean that he has a lot, so he is a good player.”
