Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has said that Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes is "not going anywhere" after recent reports suggesting that Real Madrid are interested in signing the 30-year-old playmaker.

Fernandes has been United's standout player in a difficult season, with 14 goals and 14 assists in all competitions where he has been one of the club's few consistent performers.

That has seen him linked with Real Madrid, who are on the lookout for a creative midfielder to replace 39-year-old Luka Modric, but when asked about a possible sale to Madrid, Amorim was clear in his reply.

"No, it's not going to ­happen," replied the coach, who insisted Fernandes was vital for the club's rebuilding.

"I want Bruno here because we want to win the Premier League again so we want the best players," continued Amorim, who insisted that United would be able to keep their star player.

"We are in control of the ­situation and I feel that he is really happy here" he said, adding that the signs of frustration Fernandes sometimes shows are "because he wants success so badly."

"He's not going ­anywhere because I've already told him," concluded Amorim.
