But if United chose this path by signing two big-money attacking midfielders this summer, so too did Fernandes by turning down Al Hilal’s offer to play in the Saudi Pro League.

 

Over the weekend, reports that another Saudi Arabian club — Al Ittihad — are considering a move for the 30-year-old began to emerge, but United do not expect Fernandes to leave before next Monday’s deadline. Sources in Saudi Arabia are equally sceptical that the links have much substance.

 

Fernandes made his decision to stay at Old Trafford at the very start of this transfer window and there is no reason to believe he will not end it as a United player.

 

In which case, United need to devise a way to accentuate his many strengths and mask his few weaknesses. That may mean finding the right midfield partnership, or rethinking this deeper role altogether. What’s certain is that Amorim already has plenty of problems to solve without turning his best and most important player into one, too.
