Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has declined a substantial offer from Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, opting to continue his career in European football. 
Al Hilal's proposal reportedly included a salary package that would have significantly increased Fernandes' current earnings, with some reports suggesting a potential £700,000 per week over a multi-year contract. Despite the financial incentives, Fernandes chose to remain at Old Trafford, emphasizing his commitment to Manchester United and his desire to compete at the highest level in Europe.
The Portuguese midfielder, who has been a pivotal figure for United since his arrival in 2020, has expressed his dedication to the club's ambitions. Following United's recent Europa League final defeat, Fernandes stated he would stay unless the club decided otherwise, highlighting his loyalty and determination to contribute to the team's success.
Manchester United officials have indicated that there was no formal bid from Al Hilal, and the club remained confident in Fernandes' commitment throughout the discussions. The decision to reject the offer underscores Fernandes' focus on achieving success with United and his belief in the club's direction under the current management.
As United prepares for the upcoming season, Fernandes' decision provides stability and leadership within the squad. The club has already confirmed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5 million and is exploring additional transfers to strengthen the team. Fernandes' continued presence is expected to play a crucial role in United's pursuit of domestic and European honours.
