Bruno Fernandes has firmly dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Al Nassr, the Saudi club keen to reunite him with Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite interest from Al Nassr, Fernandes remains focused on his role as captain at Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Reports indicated that Al Nassr’s manager, Jorge Jesus, was interested in signing Fernandes to bolster their squad alongside Ronaldo. There were also previous approaches from another Saudi club, Al Hilal, which reportedly offered an ambitious deal around \u00a3100 million ($135 million) for Fernandes in June. Although Fernandes considered the possibility, he ultimately decided against leaving Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Fernandes reflected on the period before Portugal\u2019s Nations League semifinal against Germany, stating, \u201cThere was that possibility, the president of Al Hilal called me a month ago to ask me about it. I took some time to think about the future.\u201d He added, \u201cAs I have always said, I would be willing, if Man Utd thought so. I spoke to coach Ruben Amorim, who, throughout this period, urged me not to go. The club said they would not be willing to sell me, only if I wanted to leave, that it was not a financial issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
This mindset clearly extends to the current interest from Al Nassr. Fernandes remains dedicated to Manchester United, particularly after the club endured a challenging 2024\u201325 season, finishing 15th in the Premier League. New signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have joined the squad, and Fernandes notes that these additions are helping transform the team. Coach Ruben Amorim remarked that the Red Devils are already playing like a \u201cdifferent team.\u201d<\/p>\n
As captain, Fernandes hopes to lead Manchester United back to winning ways and help restore the club’s standing in English football.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
