Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has confirmed that he rejected a move to Al Hilal. The Portuguese international revealed that the club’s president had contacted him directly regarding the transfer. “The president called me, I’ve rejected,” Fernandes stated, according to Fabrizio Romano’s report.
Fernandes elaborated on his decision, citing a conversation with Manchester United manager Amorim as a key factor. He claimed that Amorim had asked him to stay with the club. Additionally, Fernandes stated that Manchester United were not keen on selling him and that the club’s reluctance was not driven by financial considerations. “Manchester United didn’t want to sell me. And they don’t need the money. But if I had wanted to leave, they would have made it happen,” he said.
As a central midfielder, Fernandes is known for his playmaking abilities. He has been with Manchester United since 2020, having previously played for Sporting CP. His style of play involves controlling the tempo of the game and creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Amorim’s interest in retaining Fernandes has been evident in recent weeks. On May 30, the manager stated that Fernandes wanted to stay at Manchester United, echoing similar sentiments expressed earlier in the month. With Amorim at the helm, Manchester United’s plans and transfer activities are being closely monitored by fans and pundits alike.
