SPORTS 14 ON SUNDAY JUNE 1, 2025 BRUNO FERNANDES is reportedly giving serious consideration to leaving Manchester United. An offer from Al-Hilal, which would sensationally treble his Red Devils salary, is said to be on the table. It is claimed that Al-Hilal are prepared to pay United an eye-watering £80 million (RM440m) to land their influential captain and best player this year. If he accepts the move, Fernandes will report edly sign a four-year contract and earn £21m (RM115.5m) as a net annual salary. According to The Athletic, the 30-year-old has

Fernandes ‘seriously considering United exit’

Nottingham Forest on the final day – was capped with the first trophy in Poland of the Clearlake Capital ownership era. “The last few weeks we’ve taken a leap (in maturity),” said Madueke. “You look at the game against Nottingham Forest how we came through that, the Liverpool (3-1) and United (1-0) games at home, and obviously (Wroclaw). “The first half was difficult but we came out and showed our desire. I’m so proud.” There was a lingering question during the run-in over whether, given the club’s history, finishing fourth and winning Uefa’s third competition would constitute success. “Of course that’s a success,” said Madueke. “Especially where we’ve come from the last few years. We know Chelsea is a winning club so there was nothing in our minds apart from winning.” Despite the difficulties, Maresca can look with satisfaction on his first season in charge at Stamford Bridge and on his growing reputation as a manager. He has now won trophies in his first two senior campaigns in England having led Leicester to the Championship title in 2023/24. “The gaffer is top,” said Madueke. “He won last year at Leicester and he won this year in his first year at Chelsea, and qualified for the Champions League, so I don’t understand why there would be criticism of him.” – The Independent Madueke snaps back at detractors after Chelsea’s Conference League win ‘Critics spur me on’ However, he dialled down his tone after United beat Aston Villa 2-0 on the final day of the season, insisting: “I am just a very lucky guy who is living his dream in one of the best clubs in the world, in the best league in the world. What more can I ask? flown close to a breach of profit and sus tainability rules, club bosses must sanction big-money sales to complete a much needed overhaul of Ruben Amorim’s squad over the coming months. After the Europa League final last week, Fernandes openly suggested that he may depart if United feel the money on offer is too much. The Portugal international said: “If the club thinks it’s time to part ways because they want to do some cash-in, football sometimes is like this.”

not ruled out the prospect of leaving Old Trafford and his agent has flown out for talks. No final decision has been made and he may still remain with the Premier League club next season. But Fernandes is said to be giving the offer “serious consideration”. A potential move would see United lose their Player of the Year and a midfielder who struck 19 goals and provided 20 assists during the 2024-25 campaign. During a dreadful campaign for United, who finished 15th in the Premier League, Fernandes was a rare highlight. However, United may view a possible exit as a chance to earn a huge sum for a player who is now in his thirties. Having warned fans that the club has

“I just have to give it my all, for my teammates, for myself, for my fans and for everyone who has been through every moment with me. That’s all.” United are reportedly “relaxed” about the situation. Fernandes, who was also linked with a departure 12 months ago, has two years remain ing on his contract. Amorim would like to keep the experienced star. “He is really important for us and what we want to build for the team,” the United boss said after watching his side be beaten by Asean All Stars in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday. “In difficult moments Bruno is the guy who takes responsibility. He should do because he is the captain.” – Express Newspapers

NONI MADUEKE believes “critics make the game” after Chelsea left their trou bles behind them by lifting the Conference League trophy. A tumultuous season culminated in glory as Real Betis were beaten 4-1 in Wroclaw to add silverware to the Blues’ place in the Champions League next term. The occasion looked to have got the better of Chelsea’s young side when they fell behind early and struggled to impose themselves against a Betis side determined to make the most of their first European final. But two wonderful assists from Cole Palmer midway through the second half turned the final around as first Enzo Fernandez then Nicolas Jackson scored, before Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo wrapped up the campaign in style. “To the critics? Critics make the game,” said 23-year-old Madueke. “I’m not too worried about them, they spur you on so thank you. But you’re not going to get swearing out of me.” It has been far from a simple path for Enzo Maresca’s team who looked to have blown their top-five chances following a poor run of two Premier League wins in 10 matches between December and February, with supporters during home matches turning on the team and in particular the head coach. Chelsea have the youngest squad in Premier League history and a manager who has just completed his first season in a senior top-flight role, yet he was accused of playing a slow and uninspiring style of football that supporters appeared to be rejecting. However, a strong finish in the League – securing their place in Europe’s top competition with victory over
