Bruno Fernandes has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, and the Man United captain has now responded to the latest rumours.
Fernandes rejected a move to Al Hilal in the summer transfer window, and since then, the 31-year-old has continued as normal at Man United.
The Portuguese international has started in each of their seven Premier League games, with Ruben Amorim’s men moving up to 10th position after Man United beat Sunderland 2-0 last time out.
Yet, despite outlining his commitment to the club, Football Insider understands that United could cash in on Fernandes if an offer of £100million comes in, and that is why supporters will be keen to hear their captain respond.
While Saudi clubs continue to show an interest in Fernandes, he has now explained why he decided to stay at Old Trafford this summer.
🚨 Bruno Fernandes: “I didn’t close the door to move to Saudi because of the World Cup — that was never on my mind”.

As per Fabrizio Romano on X, the midfield metronome said: “I didn’t close the door to move to Saudi because of the World Cup — that was never on my mind. I just wanted to stay at the club, and the club wanted me to stay. That’s all”.
