Fernandes completely disappeared in the defeat against Man City. |
In the summer transfer window of 2025, Al Hilal made a huge offer worth 100 million pounds to recruit Fernandes, but the midfielder refused and decided to stay at Old Trafford. Coach Ruben Amorim also has no plans to let Fernandes leave.
Late on September 14, MU continued to sink deeper into crisis when they lost 0-3 to Man City in round 4 of the Premier League. Fernandes was one of the worst players. After the match, "Red Devils" fans felt regretful that MU did not sell Fernandes, and compared how Liverpool handled the Philippe Coutinho case.
In 2018, Liverpool sold Coutinho to Barcelona for £142 million, and used the money to recruit Alisson and Virgil van Dijk. The duo quickly became pillars helping Liverpool win many major titles.
MU fans believe that the team's management should have done the same with Fernandes, using that money to upgrade the squad and build the team according to coach Ruben Amorim's plan.
One MU fan wrote: "Liverpool sold Coutinho and bought Van Dijk and Alisson. Two players who changed the face of the team in the last 7-8 years. We should have done the same with Fernandes." Another fan said that recruiting Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo while keeping Fernandes was a wrong strategy.
Most opinions assert that if MU sold Fernandes, the proceeds could be invested in other targets, such as Carlos Baleba. However, Fernandes still stayed and continued to show lackluster performance in important matches.
