Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has wanted to clarify the reasons for his refusal of a transfer estimated at 100 million euros to Saudi Arabia last summer. While several media claimed that the Portuguese midfielder had declined this offer to preserve his chances of participating in the next World Cup, the 31-year-old international denied this version: “I have not closed the door to leaving for this reason. I just wanted to stay at Manchester United, and the club wanted me to stay.”he explained at a press conference with the Portuguese selection.
Although he confirmed his attachment to the Mancunian club, Bruno Fernandes remained evasive about the rest of his career. Asked about a possible departure at the end of the season, the captain of the Red Devils kicked in: “I'm happy where I am, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed. But I don't know what the future will hold. » Despite Manchester United's sporting difficulties for several years and particularly at the start of the season, the Portuguese remains one of the pillars of the team, under the orders of Ruben Amorim.
