Fernandes Happy at Manchester United…
Bruno Fernandes insists Manchester United is the place to be, brushing aside interest from Al-Hilal like a cat swatting a fly. Earlier this summer, there was speculation swirling around Old Trafford about his future, with his agent sweet-talking Al-Hilal officials, possibly like a car salesman pitching a tent to a camper in the desert. Reports suggested Fernandes was offered more money than a pirate’s buried treasure. However, without formal talks between clubs, the United captain chose to stay, sharing his tale via O Jogo: “I only spoke to the Al Hilal president once and told him my heartbeat spells Manchester United!”
It seems while Saudi clubs were eager, Fernandes’ thoughts never wandered too far from the Manchester drizzle. Al Nassr, with manager Jorge Jesus at the helm, also had dreams of signing the Portuguese star. Jesus confessed like someone admitting their impulse purchase of a goldfish while already having a dog, “I wanted to bring him here.” But Fernandes decided to stay at his football wonderland, opting for the Premier League over any other land of goal-scoring dreams. His decision proves that in the end, love for the game outweighs even the shiniest of gold coins.
