However, Fernandes bluntly refused. He did not want to move to the Middle East at this time in his career, despite the support from his compatriots like Ruben Neves or Joao Cancelo, who were playing in Saudi Arabia.
Manchester United has no intention of selling his captain. Fernandes still contract until 2027 and the “Red Devils” has the right to activate an extra extension.
Since landing Old Trafford from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, Bruno Fernandes has imprinted the shoes in 185 goals after 290 matches, scored 98 goals and created 87 times. He continued to show impressive performance during the summer trip in the US when he scored a brace to help Man United win West Ham 2-1.
In a press conference in Portugal in early June, Fernandes confirmed that he had considered the offer from Al Hilal. However, after consulting the coach Ruben Amorim and his wife, he decided to stay at Old Trafford.
“President Al Hilal called me a month ago to ask about the ability to transfer”, ” Fernandes shared. “I had to think a lot. I always said I was willing to leave if Man United thought it was the best choice.
Ruben Amorim talked to me for a long time to advise me not to go. I also talked to the club and they made it clear that it was just for me to leave if I wanted it myself.
That proposal is very attractive, President Al Hilal is great. I did not mention money, it was only when the representative shared that I knew the number.
In the end, I had to make a decision as a husband, a father, a player. My wife did not say agreeing or refusing, just asking me what I really wanted to work. She always supports and puts my career first.
The life there is quite easy, I have friends and my children to play with their children. But I want to continue playing at the highest level, conquering big tournaments, because I still feel like I can do it.
I want to continue to be happy and devote to my favorite sport. That's how I look at football, and I feel very satisfied with my decision. ”
