Bruno Fernandes rejects Al-Hilal transfer offer
Having weighed it up for days, Bruno Fernandes decided not to join Saudi Arabia’s top league team, Al-Hilal. After discussing this with his family, they chose not to leave Manchester United. Even though the salary was rumoured to be ‘double’ of his current one, he still decided not to transfer.
Manchester United’s head coach, Ruben Amorim, asked the captain not to leave the team. Fernandes stated ‘They said if I wanted to go I could, but they didn't need the money. I spoke to coach Ruben Amorim who, throughout that period, he was pushing for me not to go.’
‘For better or worse, this is how I see football and I'm passionate about football and this is the decision I've made,’ he added.
With this decision, the loyal captain will surely gain more fans. By rejecting an ‘exciting offer’ that would change his career trajectory and staying with Manchester United, even though they are at their ‘worst’, his loyalty will not remain unseen.
