Fernandes: United Wanted to Cash in on Me Last Summer
Bruno Fernandes revealed Manchester United encouraged his departure amid a Saudi bid, but he stayed for family and loyalty while the transfer did not materialize.
- On Monday, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes said the club wanted him to leave this summer, leaving him hurt and questioning his future after the 4-4 draw with Bournemouth.
- The Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal first contacted Fernandes in 2023; the president and Joao Neves discussed a 100million offer and wages up to 700,000 per week.
- Fernandes said, 'I could have left in this transfer window, I would have earned much more money', but he stayed for family reasons and talks with Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim.
- Fernandes says he feels on thin ice and believes Manchester United still want to move him despite his 103 goals, 93 assists, and 307 appearances under contract until June 2027 with a club option.
- It remains to be seen whether Bruno Fernandes will stay beyond his five-year mark at Old Trafford, especially if links with Al-Hilal reappear over the coming months, though he cites family and lifestyle reasons for staying.
