Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has slammed the Premier League 's contentious spending regulations as "b***** stupid". The Manchester Evening News understands United captain Bruno Fernandes is seriously considering making a £100m move to Al-Hilal this summer. Fernandes's agent, Miguel Pinho, has held discussions with the Saudi Pro League side and United are prepared to listen to offers for any squad member following their disappointing 2024/25 campaign. It means United could go into next season without the Portugal international, who registered 19 goals and 20 assists he registered this season, despite manager Ruben Amorim being keen to keep him. While discussing Fernandes, Jordan was questioned on how Manchester United could reject such an offer for their player. His scathing reply on talkSPORT criticised the impact of the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), stating: "This is the downside of PSR. This is what we're doing to our domestic football clubs, that they have to sell their players to be able to meet PSR. "So whether it's an academy player, whether it's a better player, like at Aston Villa, this is the downside of PSR. So if we keep on with this nonsense, we will unwind the domestic powerhouse that our Premier League is and start to denigrate the quality of our football clubs. Rules could undermine the Premier League's status and diminish the quality of English clubs. "But that's for the Premier League to work out. That's for (league chief executive) Richard Master to say, 'Well, aren't we doing well here'? "Because Man United, irrespective of their underperformance, in fact whichever club it is, whether it's a big club or a small club, they should be able to buy themselves out of trials and challenges if they want to, and PSR is stopping clubs from doing so. "This is stopping the very essence of what built this Premier League into what it is now, so it's b***** stupid." Jordan expressed his opinions which align closely with those of Aston Villa co-owner Nassef Sawiris who contends that the league's financial regulations limit the ambitions of clubs like Villa aiming to compete domestically and in Europe. He added: "We know for a fact that clubs are being shut down economically if they haven't got the ability to buy players or to take wages on, whoever they are. They can't do it because of PSR consequences." Here at The Manchester Evening News, we are dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester United coverage and analysis.
