Bruno Fernandes has disclosed turning down a lucrative opportunity in Saudi Arabia to continue pursuing his ambitions with Manchester United. The United captain is on the brink of his 300th appearance for the club as they prepare to face Brighton in the Premier League at Old Trafford.
While Fernandes has faced challenges during his time at Manchester United, including a disappointing 15th-place finish last season, he remains committed to helping the team succeed. Despite an offer from Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League during the offseason, Fernandes opted to stay and focus on his goals with the 20-time English champions.
Acknowledging his family’s role in his decision, Fernandes emphasized that he is determined to achieve more with the club before considering other opportunities. Despite occasional criticism for his passionate demeanor on the field, Fernandes’ intense drive to win the Premier League and Champions League is supported by United manager Ruben Amorim.
With a contract running until 2027 and a potential extension, Fernandes is not looking to discuss his future until after the World Cup next year. While rumors have circulated about a potential move, Fernandes clarified that he has not engaged in any discussions and remains dedicated to his current objectives. His agent is aware that any future talks will only take place post-World Cup, as Fernandes remains focused on realizing his aspirations at Manchester United.
