INEOS could ignore Beckham's warning to get a £100m transfer boost

Manchester United are staring down the barrel of financial chaos after their gut-wrenching Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

According to the Daily Mail, Saudi Pro League powerhouse Al-Hilal are ready to test United’s resolve with a jaw-dropping £100 million bid for captain Bruno Fernandes.

The offer includes a staggering £700,000-a-week salary, potentially rising to £65 million per season with signing-on fees and performance bonuses.

However, they want an answer by the end of May.

Such a blockbuster deal could be a financial lifeline for United, who face a brutal revenue hit after missing out on all forms of European football next season.

United legend David Beckham issued a stern warning to INEOS amid rumours of Fernandes’ exit.

The Englishman described Fernandes as “exceptional” and urged INEOS to resist the temptation to cash in on their most influential player.

The 30-year-old has been in stellar form this season, netting 19 goals and providing 19 assists.

His brilliance was rightly rewarded with the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award, a record-breaking fourth win that underlines his enduring influence.

He has starred in every role he has been deployed in.

He looks perfectly suited to the central midfield spot in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system.

Fernandes is not just a playmaker but the emotional engine and soul of this fractured squad.

Replacing a player of his calibre would be a monumental task and one United may not recover from anytime soon.

The £100 million offer may seem irresistible on paper, but INEOS must think long-term.

Selling their talisman and most consistent performer would signal not ambition but surrender.

Letting go of Fernandes would risk triggering a domino effect, unsettling the dressing room and alienating the fanbase.
