Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has revealed that he consulted Cristiano Ronaldo over the summer while considering a transfer offer from Saudi Arabia. In an interview ahead of his 300th match for United, Fernandes explained that despite a £100 million offer from Al Hilal, his desire was always to remain at Old Trafford. The Portuguese midfielder, who has two years left on his contract with United, stated there is no agreement to move to Saudi Arabia next summer, and discussions with his agent are on hold until after the World Cup.
Fernandes is focused on his ambition to bring significant trophies to Old Trafford, with hopes of winning the Premier League and the Champions League. He has already claimed the League Cup and the FA Cup with the team. In his 299 appearances for the club, Fernandes has made an impressive contribution of 100 goals and 87 assists, a remarkable feat considering the changes the club has undergone since his arrival in January 2020.
Last summer, Fernandes was the subject of considerable interest from Saudi Arabia but chose to stay in Manchester. After discussions with the manager and club management, he decided not to accept the offer. He also consulted Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays in Saudi Arabia, but his decision remained unchanged.
Despite being 31 years old, Fernandes continues to be one of the most creative players in the Premier League and consistently impresses with his form. The competition with young talent Kobbie Mainoo further motivates him to develop and enhance his game.
Analysis: Fernandes' decision to remain at Manchester United demonstrates loyalty and a strong ambition to achieve success with the club. His dedication and consistency are crucial for United's future, especially in the context of the high goals the club has set for itself.
