Take the £100M and Run!” – Paul Scholes Says Bruno Fernandes Is Confusing Man United’s System and Should Be Sold Immediately! Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has surprised everyone by backing the idea of selling club captain Bruno Fernandes to Al-Hilal for a staggering £100M! 😳 Scholes did stop there—he said Bruno “confuses the whole system” under Ruben Amorim and hinted that United would be better off without him! 😲 Even Jamie Carragher jumped in, comparing Bruno to a “schoolyard player” with no discipline
In one of the most explosive press conference moments of the summer so far, Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has sent shockwaves through Old Trafford by publicly backing the idea of selling club captain Bruno Fernandes to Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal for a reported £100 million.
Speaking during a pundit panel ahead of England’s Euro 2025 warm-up match, Scholes didn’t hold back when asked about United’s future under new manager Ruben Amorim — singling out Fernandes as a problem rather than a solution.
Scholes: “He Confuses the Whole System”
“Look, Bruno’s a talented lad, no doubt,” Scholes admitted. “But under this new manager, he just confuses the whole system. He drops too deep, drifts out of position, and the others don’t know whether to go or stay. It’s like watching a schoolyard game at times.”
Scholes then dropped the hammer: “If Al-Hilal are really offering £100 million? Take it and run. Use that money to build a proper, balanced midfield that follows instructions. This isn’t FIFA Career Mode.”
Jamie Carragher Agrees — with a Brutal Comparison
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, sitting alongside Scholes, also weighed in — and he didn’t mince words either.
“I’ve said it before — Bruno’s a schoolyard player. Head down, chasing the ball wherever it goes, no discipline. You can’t have that if you want to play Amorim’s system. You need structure, especially in midfield. For £100 million, you’re having a laugh not taking that deal.”
Shockwaves Among Fans and Pundits
The comments have triggered a fierce debate among United supporters, many of whom consider Fernandes the heart of the team. Some fans have expressed outrage at the idea of selling their captain, while others surprisingly echoed Scholes’ sentiments.
One fan wrote on X: “I love Bruno, but if he’s holding us back tactically and we can get £100M? It’s a conversation we HAVE to have.”
Another was less diplomatic: “Paul Scholes talking nonsense again. Bruno carried this team for two years. No respect for what he’s done.”
Bruno’s Future Uncertain Amid Amorim’s Reshuffle
With United’s rebuild under Ruben Amorim in full swing, questions surrounding Fernandes’ future have intensified. While the club has not officially responded to the Al-Hilal bid rumors, inside sources suggest Amorim is open to restructuring his midfield and won’t block any major outgoing if the offer is right.
What’s Next?
United’s top brass are expected to meet in the coming days to discuss summer departures and squad priorities, with Fernandes’ name now firmly in the conversation.
If Al-Hilal’s rumored £100M bid is confirmed, it could become one of the defining decisions of the summer — one that might split the fanbase, but reshape United’s future.
