Man United ready to sell second star to Saudi Arabia after Bruno Fernandes this summer transfer -Reports

Manchester United are willing to sell a second player to Saudi Arabia as Bruno Fernandes considers ditching the Premier League giants for Al Hilal.

Fernandes, United’s best and most important player in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, has held talks over a lucrative summer move to the Saudi Pro League club.

The Old Trafford captain is yet to make a final decision on his future but is believed to be leaning towards leaving United for a move that would earn him around £200m over three years.

Ruben Amorim is desperate to keep Fernandes at the club but Manchester United are open to a sale given their poor financial position.

As things stand and before any sales, United will only have around £100m to spend and that will not go far considering the Manchester giants have already activated the £62.5m release clause of Wolves star Matheus Cunha.

United have already released Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof but the club are also open to selling Andre Onana.

Like Fernandes, Onana has attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League despite an inconsistent and disappointing season at Old Trafford.

The Cameroon international arrived at United having just helped Inter Milan reach the Champions League final but there have been calls for the £47.5m to be replaced.

According to Fabrizio Romano and The United Stand, Old Trafford bosses are open to the idea of selling Onana and will ‘entertain offers’ from rival clubs this summer

Recent reports have claimed Onana is in advanced talks with newly-promoted Saudi Pro League side Neom SC but while United would be open to talks, The United Stand say this is yet to occur.

Most Manchester United fans are dreading the prospect of Fernandes leaving but club legend Paul Scholes believes an offer of £100m would be too good to refuse.

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, he said: ‘They are talking about £100m for him, Man United cannot say no to that.

‘I know he has been brilliant and carried the team on his back, but where does he actually play, what is his position?

‘Do you see him as a number 10? Do you see him as a holding midfielder? He almost confuses the whole system. I mean, he has been brilliant, don’t get me wrong.
