Manchester United boss, Ruben Amorim has said his captain, Bruno Fernandes will not be joining La Liga giants, Real Madrid at the end of the season, insisting that the Portuguese will stay at Old Trafford.
He ruled out any possibility of such a deal ahead of the Red Devils’ trip to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
Fernandes joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in 2020 and his current deal is expected to expire in 2027.
Reports have, however, emerged that Real Madrid are keen on adding him to their squad during the summer transfer window.
The Spanish giants are reportedly considering a £90m bid to bring the Portugal midfielder to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Reacting to the development during his pre-match press conference on Monday, Amorim categorically ruled out a summer exit for the 30-year-old.
He argued that Fernandes is happy at Old Trafford, adding that he understands what Man United are trying to accomplish.
He said, “It’s not going to happen. I want Bruno here.
“We want to win the Premier League again, we want the best players with us. He is still so young because he plays 55 games every season.
“Between assists and goals, he is there for 30 at least. He is the player we want here, he is not going anywhere.
“We are in control of the situation. I feel that he is really happy here. He understands what we want to do.”
