Man Utd transfer list ‘every player’ after Europa League heartbreak with Bruno Fernandes tipped for sensational transfer

In what may go down as one of the most dramatic responses to a European final loss in recent memory, Manchester United have reportedly placed their entire first-team squad on the transfer list following their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.

The heartbreaking loss in Bilbao not only denied the Red Devils a piece of silverware but also dealt a huge blow to their hopes of securing Champions League football for next season. That failure has now triggered what could become one of the most ruthless clear-outs in the club’s modern history.

According to reports from The Mirror, Manchester United’s top brass are now willing to “listen to offers for EVERY player” in the squad. No one is safe—not even the captain, Bruno Fernandes, whose name has already begun circulating in high-profile transfer circles, with a sensational move tipped for the summer.

The financial repercussions of missing out on Champions League qualification are severe. United’s board, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe and CEO Omar Berrada, were reportedly banking on a £100 million boost from Europe’s premier competition to stabilize the club’s books. Without that income, the club now faces what insiders are calling a “catastrophic financial black hole.”

Manager Ruben Amorim, who took over the reins last November, was expected to begin his first full pre-season in a stable environment. Instead, he now looks set to oversee an enormous squad reshuffle. With every player effectively up for sale, the future of Manchester United’s spine hangs in the balance.

Bruno Fernandes, who has been one of United’s most consistent and passionate performers since arriving from Sporting CP in January 2020, is reportedly a top target for Saudi giants Al Hilal. The Middle Eastern club is allegedly prepared to shatter the British transfer record to lure the 30-year-old to the Saudi Pro League, with a three-year deal worth close to £200 million on the table.

Speaking after the final in Bilbao, Fernandes didn’t hold back when asked about his future. “I have always been honest,” he said. “If the club thinks it’s time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it is what it is. Football sometimes is like this.”

“I’ve always said I will be here until the club says to me that it’s time to go. I’m eager to do more, to be able to bring the club to the great days. But the day the club thinks I’m too much or it’s time to part ways—football is like this, you never know.”

The midfielder’s comments, while diplomatic, also hint at an openness to move on if it helps Manchester United recover from their current crisis. Though beloved by fans, Fernandes could become the first major name to be sacrificed as part of a summer fire sale.

This strategy, however, may not sit well with the fanbase. Many supporters had hoped that last night’s final loss would be followed by a measured response—a few key signings, perhaps some tactical reinforcements. But this blanket decision to open the door for all players has stunned observers and left fans in disbelief.

It remains to be seen how many of United’s stars will actually leave in the coming months. While clubs around Europe and beyond will undoubtedly circle like vultures around Old Trafford, the idea of losing multiple core players in one summer is fraught with risk. Yet, it seems United’s board is prepared to do exactly that if it means financial survival.

One thing is clear: the summer of 2025 could be unlike any other in Manchester United’s long and storied history. What was once thought to be a rebuild may now become a complete teardown. And if Fernandes does depart, it may just be the beginning of a new, uncertain era at Old Trafford.
