Bruno Fernandes Rejects Al Hilal to Stay in Europe and play for Manchester United
According to reports, Al Hilal tabled offer that included a tax-free salary of around £200 million over three years equivalent to nearly £1 million per week. The deal also involved a £100 million transfer fee for Manchester United. Fernandes made it clear he has no interest in leaving the united at this time in his career.
Bruno Fernandes said that his heart remains in Europe, where he still feels he can compete at the highest level, especially in the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League, widely regarded as the most competitive domestic league in the world.
“I understand the financial appeal of Saudi Arabia, But right now, I am focused on legacy, competition, and winning at the very top level. That’s what I came to Manchester United for, and that’s what I’m staying to achieve.”
The club is entering a new era under head coach Rúben Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag after the 2024–25 campaign. Amorim has been vocal about Fernandes’s importance to the squad.
While Saudi Arabian clubs continue to be interested in European stars, Fernandes’s decision underscores a growing sentiment among players.
Manchester United, for their part, have no intentions of selling Fernandes. The club sees him as a central figure in their rebuilding project under Amorim. Fernandes is contracted until 2027, with an option for a further year, and is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping United’s future on the pitch.
Fernandes's rejection of Al Hilal also sends a strong message to fans, signaling his belief in Manchester United’s long-term vision. It’s a rare stance in modern football, where financial incentives often drive player decisions.
