Ruben Amorim is missing an important point about a Bruno Fernandes transfer

Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes is at the top of Al-Hilal's wishlist before the Club World Cup begins on June 14, as he is one of the biggest names in the Premier League and vital to Man United being both on the precipice of the Europa League Final and avoiding further embarrassment in the Premier League.
