Last week, Bruno Fernandes’ agent was spotted on tour in Saudi Arabia. Thus, the United captain opens the door for an exit from the Premier League and the UEFA region in favor of astronomical wage income. Now the agent is back in Europe, Fernandes has until Friday to make the decision whether he will say goodbye to Manchester United. For Paul Scholes, it’s obvious what United should do.
“They’re talking about £100 million for him. Manchester United can’t say no to that,” Scholes begins in The Overlap.
Scholes highlights the importance of Fernandes at United this season, but doesn’t quite see the Portuguese as the mainstay of Ruben Amorim’s system.
— When you also talk about the system, I know that he has been fantastic and carried the team on his shoulders, but where does he play? What is his position? Do you see him as a number ten? Do you see him as a sitting midfielder? He almost confuses the whole system, because he doesn’t have the one position for him, doses the United legend.

“Well, he’s been brilliant, don’t get me wrong, but when you get £100 million for him, then you say yes on the spot,” says Scholes.
