Bruno Fernandes Rejects Saudi Temptations and Sticks to Manchester United Project

Manchester United captain, Portuguese Bruno Fernandes, nearly closed the chapter on his European career last summer after receiving a massive offer from Saudi club Al-Hilal, while his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo tried to persuade him to join Al-Nassr, but the player chose to stay at Old Trafford, preferring family stability and the sports project over financial temptations.

The Saudi offer, valued at around £100 million, included a doubled weekly salary and direct negotiations between Al-Hilal representatives and the player's agent in Riyadh. Although Bruno had personal talks with the president of the Saudi club, his discussions with his family were decisive, as he indicated that his children consider Manchester their real home and that he has not yet achieved all his dreams with the English team.

Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr, tried to convince his former national team colleague to join him, taking advantage of their strong relationship, and Bruno also spoke with coach Jorge Jesus, who welcomed the idea. However, despite all this, the final decision remained with Fernandes, who confirmed that he does not make his decisions based on others' opinions.

Ultimately, Bruno chose to continue with Manchester United, especially after the new coach Ruben Amorim informed him that he is a key part of the team's future project, emphasizing that he never felt that the club wanted to part ways with him due to his age.
