Bruno Fernandes will not be leaving Manchester United this summer, says head coach Ruben Amorim - as he can help the club win the Premier League again.

The United captain has been crucial to the club's mini-revival under Amorim, with seven goals and three assists in his last seven matches. That form has led to speculation that he could move to Real Madrid in the summer.

"It's not going to happen," said Amorim about those specific rumours ahead of United's Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.

The United head coach was then questioned on why he is so confident the 30-year-old wants to spend these crucial, final years of his career at Old Trafford, when the club are far away from the top.

"That is the challenge. I want Bruno here," Amorim replied.

"We want to win the Premier League again, we want the best players with us. He's still so young because he plays 55 games every season.

"Between assists and goals, he's there for 30 at least. He's the player we want here, he's not going anywhere.

"We are in control of the situation. I feel that he's really happy here. He understands what we want to do.

"He's one more supporter of Manchester United, he really feels it. Sometimes the frustration that you and everybody sees, and says: 'it's not a good thing for the captain' - it's a sign that he wants it so bad.

"This is the kind of player we want. He's not going anywhere - because I already told him."
