"I refused": Bruno Fernandes confirms Al Hilal interest

Manchester United endured a disastrous season, finishing 15th in the Premier League and failing to secure the Europa League title. The club captain, Bruno Fernandes, attracted interest from Saudi Arabian representatives, and now the midfielder himself has spoken out about the situation.

Details: Speaking at a press conference ahead of the UEFA Nations League clash with Germany, Fernandes revealed he did indeed receive an offer to join Al Hilal but turned it down. He discussed the situation with the club, which made it clear they wanted him to stay, and ultimately decided to remain at Manchester United.

Quote: "The president called me—I refused. I spoke with Amorim. He asked me not to leave. Manchester United didn’t want to sell me. They don’t need the money. But if I had wanted to go, they would have let me," Bruno stated.

Earlier reports indicated that Saudi side Al Hilal were ready to meet the financial demands of both Manchester United and Fernandes himself in their bid to land the Portuguese midfielder.

However, everything now depends on Manchester United, and the Red Devils' head coach Ruben Amorim has made it clear he is counting on the Portuguese playmaker.

Reminder: The Manchester United head coach has secured the board’s support regarding the possible sale of Alejandro Garnacho this summer.
