Insistently courted by Al-Hilal, who offered him a contract worth nearly 800,000 euros per week, Bruno Fernandes finally decided to refuse Saudi Arabia last summer. An attractive offer, but one that the Portuguese rejected after a decisive discussion with his wife Ana Pinho. “She asked me if I had achieved everything I wanted at United. She knows not. I'm not sure I'll achieve that – win the Premier League or the Champions League – and neither will she. But if I don't try, I sure as hell won't succeed.”.
The Mancunian captain preferred to focus on loyalty and the Red Devils' sporting project and claimed to have spoken with the club's leaders, who reaffirmed their desire to build a more competitive team around him. “I felt like I was still part of the plan, that I could still help the club achieve its goals. As I always said, I feel good here. I want to make my dreams come true, but I can't speak for the club.”he added to Timeshe who will play his 300th match with the Red Devils this weekend, against Brighton.
