Bruno Fernandes confessed that he received an offer from an exotic league

In the aftermath of his hat-trick against Real Sociedad in the Europa League, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes made a candid revelation. He disclosed that he had received an offer to leave the club during the summer transfer window.

The Offer: A Saudi Arabian Approach

Fernandes revealed that the offer came from a club in Saudi Arabia, a league that has been attracting top talent in recent years.

Discussions with the Club: A Question of Future

Fernandes sat down with Manchester United to discuss the offer. "We talked about that possibility," he explained. "They told me what they expected from me. I just asked if they considered me part of the future or not."

Both manager Erik ten Hag and the club's hierarchy made it clear that Fernandes was a key part of their rebuilding plans. "They were all clear; everyone considered that I was part of the reconstruction they wanted to carry out," Fernandes said.

Fernandes's Decision: A Commitment to Success

Fernandes was convinced by the club's vision and decided to stay. "I listened to what they said and also thought that we can have success," he stated.

Fernandes acknowledged the challenges of the current season, including the departure of Ten Hag. "Unfortunately, we didn't start the season in the best way, Erik ten Hag lost his job due to the results we obtained, but the fault was everyone's," he said.

New Era: A Different Approach

With a new manager at the helm, Fernandes is optimistic about the future. "Now we are in a different moment, with a new manager, who has a different way of playing," he commented.

Fernandes reiterated his commitment to the club, regardless of their position in the Premier League. "No matter the position we occupy in the Premier League, for me it will always be an honour to be in this club and I will always give my best to keep us in the fight for everything," he pledged.

Europa League Success: A Silver Lining

Despite their struggles in the Premier League, Manchester United have progressed to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where they will face Lyon.

Bruno Fernandes's decision to stay at Manchester United demonstrates his commitment to the club's long-term success. His leadership and performances will be crucial as the team navigates a challenging season.
