Bruno Fernandes has made it known that he rejected a highly lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal, choosing instead to remain committed to Manchester United. The Portuguese midfielder was the subject of serious interest from the Saudi club, who were reportedly ready to splash out £100 million to sign him and triple his current wages, which would have netted him a staggering £200 million over three years.
Despite engaging in positive discussions and being faced with a deal that many would find impossible to refuse, Fernandes decided to stay put. His decision was fueled by a strong desire to continue competing at the highest level of the sport and to chase major honours with Manchester United. At 30 years old, the Red Devils captain is not ready to walk away from the European stage just yet, as he remains focused on making a difference at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, club legend Paul Scholes recently weighed in on the situation, suggesting that United should seriously consider cashing in on such a significant offer, especially given Fernandes’ age and the team’s recent struggles. From Scholes’ perspective, securing £100 million for a player entering his thirties might be a wise business move. Still, Fernandes’ passion for the club and ambition to lead them to future success ultimately won out.
