Man Utd confronts a ‘significant challenge’ as Amorim prepares for a record offer for Fernandes

By Damerex -

According to reports, Man Utd is preparing for a historic transfer offer from Real Madrid for Bruno Fernandes during the summer transfer window. 

The Red Devils are enduring a difficult season, with Ruben Amorim’s team sitting in 13th place on the Premier League table after 29 games. 

Man Utd appointed Amorim to replace Erik ten Hag in November, yet results and performances have declined under the Portuguese manager. 

Amorim is facing challenges in getting his Man Utd team to adjust to his style of play, philosophy, and tactics – yet one player who has risen to the occasion is Fernandes. 

Fernandes has made a remarkable impact with 16 goals and 14 assists in 44 matches across all competitions this season, despite the team's difficulties. 

This has caught the eye of La Liga powerhouses Real Madrid, with the Daily Star reporting that Man Utd is ‘prepared for a record transfer offer’ from Los Blancos during the summer transfer window. 

Real Madrid are poised to present 'the financially constrained Red Devils with a significant dilemma' this summer as the Portugal international has 'become an unexpected £90million target' for Carlo Ancelotti’s team. 

The Spanish team ‘has attended nearly every Manchester United game lately – whether at home or away’ and ‘their scouting focus is on Old Trafford’s Fernandes’. 

The Daily Star includes: 

United manager Ruben Amorim wishes to retain his motivating captain, but the club's goal to make reductions and generate funds means they would need to evaluate a substantial bid for the midfielder. 

Real intend to revamp their squad after the season concludes, which involves acquiring England right back Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool on a free transfer. 

‘Fernandes is viewed as a key signing and a possible future replacement for Luka Modric, 39.’ 


If Fernandes were transferred to Real Madrid for £90m, it would set a record sale for Man Utd, surpassing the £80m that Real Madrid spent on Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009. 

Following the signing of a fresh contract earlier this season, Fernandes stated: “The club was aware that I aim to compete against the top teams. They understood that we had to enhance the team. And I believe that we are accomplishing that. 

“I told them: ‘I don’t need you to assure me that we will win the league,’ because nobody can guarantee that.” However, we will at least have a squad that can compete and maintain competitiveness all season long, aiming for trophies and striving to perform at the highest levels. 

"I believe the club is doing that." It aims to attract individuals to enhance the team's quality; to become more competitive, [ensuring everyone is] vying for their position."

Arsenal supporters charged with ‘arrogant self-importance’ and far worse allegations

By Damerex -

Are Arsenal supporters the most unbearable? That is the hypothesis. Liverpool sporting a ‘hollow crown’ has not been well-received.  Now regarding Real Madrid…  My forecast was that the sole way this Arsenal team could defeat Real Madrid across two matches was to secure victory in the first and remain solid in the second.  This is due to our inability to dismantle a team that parks the bus, which will happen at the Bernabeu if we drop the first leg. Especially not a second game at their location. I honestly can’t envision us pulling off a smash and grab like Thierry did previously.  I believe a draw in the first leg has a similar impact, as they'd be clever at home and wait for an opportunity to score.  Nevertheless, following tonight, the 'keeping it tight' aspect is in shambles with the London Colney treatment room bustling once more (does each squad member have their own table?). I was counting on Saliba and Gabriel to understand their French and Brazilian of...

Bukayo Saka makes a perfect comeback, but Arsenal's 24/25 season comes to a premature conclusion after another injury setback

By Damerex -
Image
Bukayo Saka shone brightly with a goal in his comeback during the 2-1 victory against Fulham, yet Arsenal may soon see their season come to an abrupt halt following yet another significant setback...  In reality, Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title concluded prior to the international break.  The slim chance of something amusing occurring during what is poised to be a rather tedious conclusion hinged on Mikel Arteta’s team defeating Fulham on Tuesday night and Liverpool prolonging their ongoing two-match winless streak against Everton on Wednesday evening.  Arsenal delivered on their promise, though they didn't do so entirely convincingly…  Even with Saka's positive return to the bench following his hamstring injury, Arsenal's ongoing issues persisted, and one could easily believe – particularly during the first half – that the Fulham match felt like a meaningless fixture as a minor hurdle on the way to summer break.  As they have throughout mu...

Man City predicted to be ‘dissolved’ following FFP ‘private prosecutions’ with Haaland suggested for a move to Forest

By Damerex -
Image
Man City could confront being 'liquidated' due to 'private prosecutions', while a potentially 'humorous' alternative 'resolution' might trigger Erling Haland to Nottingham Forest.  The true ‘greatest’ influence of Man City FFP…  Acknowledging all the warnings, I believe that everyone is missing the main issue if City is deemed guilty. You have listed five penalties, but the greatest effect will likely come from the private prosecutions, which I think have been retained by Man Utd, Liverpool, and Arsenal. United clearly have the greatest need for funds, thus the absence of prize money, sponsorship, and commercial opportunities is an issue they will be eager to tackle concerning titles and trophies. Liverpool and Arsenal will also be bold in pursuing compensation, and we then look at the European teams that have faced disadvantages.  I have made this argument previously, but this could be crucial for City as a club. The club cannot sustain this without the...

Identify the sole two players in the Premier League with star quality

Did you believe that Bukayo Saka or the current Ballon d’Or winner possesses 'star quality'? As though it makes a difference regardless...  ‘Is the Premier League experiencing a shortage of superstars?’ is an opening line from Sam Wallace in the Daily Telegraph that stems entirely from the absurd situation of the international break concluding with an FA Cup weekend lacking any of England's most popular clubs.  You realize you are drifting into middle age when you begin to ponder where all the true superstars have disappeared to; wasn’t it more enjoyable when you could leave your door unlocked, men were men, women were something unspecified, and the Premier League overflowed with star talent? The issue? It never truly was.  In the latest Forbes ranking of the top-earning athletes in 2024, which generally aligns with the most renowned players globally, the Premier League features three individuals: Erling Haaland, Mo Salah, and Kevin De Bruyne.  In 2020, the Premier L...

Two Manchester United transfer choices revealed by merciless Nottingham Forest after baffling £90m decisions

By Damerex -
Image
Manchester United’s decision to sell Anthony Elanga for £15m while rating Alejandro Garnacho at £70m illustrates the kind of errors that define their transfer missteps.  Manchester United are terrible at signings. That is no surprise. Their terrible history of post-Ferguson acquisitions is painfully familiar. However, they are arguably inferior in every facet of player sales, and insufficient emphasis is placed on how that disastrous failure has been more persistently harmful than subpar recruitment to their prospects for a significant rebuild.  They have never earned over £100m in a single season from player sales (four Premier League teams achieved this in just one season). They are the sole Premier League club whose highest sale happened prior to 2011. They still consider David Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid in 2003 as their fourth-biggest sale ever, and two players ahead of him – Angel Di Maria and Romelu Lukaku – were sold at a loss compared to their initial signing fe...
