Top Man Utd star makes shock transfer decision as he receives ‘incredible offer’ to Leave Old Trafford and reunite with Former manager

Man Utd skipper Bruno Fernandes has received an offer to leave

Manchester United are at increasing risk of losing one of their best players, as reports claim Saudi Pro League chiefs are stepping up their hunt to sign Bruno Fernandes.

Four years ago, Manchester United paid Sporting CP an initial £47 million to sign the attacking midfield player, who then made his way to England. With add-ons, the transaction could have reached £68 million, but Fernandes has been well worth the money.

After making his debut for the team, he quickly became Man Utd’s primary creative force, amassing 71 goals and 60 assists in 215 games. Out of 30 games played this term, that consists of seven goals and six assists.

However, there has been tentative talk of Fernandes departing for a fresh challenge in the Middle East ever since the Saudi Pro League declared its goal to become one of the top leagues in the world of football.

According to Portuguese newspaper Record, Al-Hilal are the main Saudi club trying to snare the 29-year-old. It is claimed that Al-Hilal approached Fernandes’ camp with an ‘astronomical’ contract offer in January in the hope that this would get him to hand in a transfer request at Old Trafford.

Al-Hilal believe Fernandes would be enticed to join them by the fact they are managed by Jorge Jesus. The 69-year-old, who has won major trophies in Portugal, Turkey and Brazil, has a great relationship with Fernandes after the pair worked together at Sporting.

Therefore, Jesus would help Fernandes to bed in quickly at Al-Hilal and would immediately make him an important part of the first team.

Luckily for Erik ten Hag, the Portugal star will not be leaving Man Utd any time soon. He swiftly rejected Al-Hilal’s proposal as he wants to continue playing at a high level in Europe for a few more seasons.

Bruno Fernandes opts to stay at Man Utd
As Man Utd captain, Fernandes is determined to bring more silverware to the Red Devils before taking the next step in his career. So far, he has only won the League Cup.

Ten Hag will be delighted that Fernandes did not even consider Al-Hilal’s offer, as he is fully invested in the Man Utd project and will try his best to help them get into the top-six conversation.

Although, it is clear that after a few more seasons, Al-Hilal will have a much better chance of signing the playmaker as he will start to think about life after football and the huge money he could pick up in Saudi Arabia
