Bruno Fernandes has offered to leave Manchester United if the club need to cash in on him in order to rebuild after the heartbreak of their Europa League final defeat by Tottenham.
United lost 1-0 in Bilbao on Wednesday courtesy of a Brennan Johnson goal, compounding a miserable season for the club.
Manager Ruben Amorim said after the defeat that if the club no longer wanted him he would quit "without any conversation about compensation".
Now his captain, 30, has followed suit, aware of United's need for an overhaul of the playing staff despite financial constraints.
"I have always been honest. I've always said I will be here until the club says to me that it's time to go," said Fernandes.
"I'm eager to do more, to be able to bring the club to the great days. On the day that the club thinks that I'm too much or it's time to part ways, football is like this, you never know it.
"But I've always said it and I keep my word in the same way. If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it is what it is and football sometimes is like this."
Fernandes has been United's standout player for United this season but failed to make an impact against Spurs at the San Mames stadium.
'Very sad day'
He said the defeat was a crushing blow.
"We wanted to win more than anything in this final," he said. "It's a very sad day because we've done some very good things in this competition until today.
"But today (Wednesday) was the day that mattered, the most important day of the competition. It was the day we could have been in the history of the Europa League, but it's not like that. And football is cruel, and it's been our turn to lose."
The midfielder, who joined United in 2020, insisted his compatriot Amorim was still the right man to lead United, despite a terrible record since arriving at Old Trafford in November.
United have won just six league games on his watch and are 16th in the Premier League, destined for their lowest finish since relegation in 1974.
"We (the players) just agreed that he's the right man," said Fernandes. "He has done a lot of good things. We know that the manager is looked at by the results.
"Obviously we see more than that as players. We know for everyone it will be about him bringing back the positivity in the club.
"To try to bring the club back to fight for trophies, fight for the big trophies. And we all agree that he's the right man."

Your bitterness is what is choking all of you. You are a dislussioned fans who says this today and says that tomorrow. Praise this player today, and tomorrow he is bad. Prepare for more pain.

when I say that BRUNO FERNANDES is a huge liability, some over zealous and irrational United fans will start yabbing, especially when he bribes them with 3 average performance and like 2 goals, they begin to hype him, forgetting the fact that he is a useless player. and that's how the owners of united will bribe the fans with the signing of CUNHA and the fans will forget that the owners are the real problem of the team, not really the coach.
you are very stupid

Real Madrid needs someone to replace Modric. I think he'd do well in Spain.
a club in Saudi Arabia are willing to pay £100-120m which I know Madrid won't agree to fuck out such ridiculous amount on 30 year old Bruno So i belief he will end up in Saudi.

Everyone must leave, starting from the Glazers to the squad, except institutional workers who've been behind the glamorous Old Trafford.... Sir Ratcliff has made life miserable for most of our dedicated staff for nothing!!!!

he must stay because he is the problem of UTD , dragging the arm band chasing every other senior players away, making every other player angry in the pitch and by so doing they under perform. did the same with Maguire and he gladly took the arm band, dragging every spot kick with CR7 and forcing him out of the club because he always want to be on the spotlight, the club must retain him because he destroyed this team, never letting hoijlund to score penalties and boost his goal scoring form yet he will also be the one telling press the players are not good enough.
According to your comment, you are the worst fan I have ever seen here

Very sad to hear Bruno say so, but I guess he’s not wrong either way. He needs support, why would coaches position him to perform badly..you play Mason as winger with Alex on bench and Shaw coming from injury behind him.. Sometimes team cohesion is important than just individual performance.
