Bruno Fernandes Unlikely to Leave Manchester United Despite Al Hilal Interest

Bruno Fernandes seems to want to stay at Manchester United. Al Hilal are trying hard to sign him with a huge offer. But it looks like Fernandes is not interested in leaving.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Al Hilal are ready to pay £100 million for Fernandes. They plan to give him almost triple his current salary. His agent has been talking to Al Hilal officials in Saudi Arabia. This has added to the rumors about a possible transfer.

However, people close to Fernandes, including his former coach Rúben Amorim, think he wants to remain at Manchester United. He has already rejected offers from other clubs. He also extended his contract last summer until 2027, with an option for one more year.

CURRENT SITUATION AT MANCHESTER UNITED

Manchester United are having a difficult season in 2024/25. They finished eighth in the Premier League and did not qualify for Europe. Fernandes, though, was a key player, scoring 12 goals and assisting 11 times in 37 league games. His leadership and creativity were important for a team struggling for form.

Without a formal offer yet, United have a tough decision to make. Selling Fernandes could bring in much-needed money, but losing their captain would leave a big gap in midfield.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR FERNANDES AND UNITED?

Manchester United are not looking to sell Fernandes, but financial concerns may force them to reconsider. Missing out on Europe has hit them hard. Al Hilal’s potential offer could change things too. Al Hilal are also pushing for a quick response. Reports suggest they have given Fernandes 72 hours to decide.

United’s next match is a pre-season friendly in Hong Kong. Fernandes may speak about his future there. The transfer window opens on June 16. The coming weeks could determine what happens to Fernandes and Manchester United.
