Bruno Fernandes has, once again, expressed his position regarding a potential departure from Manchester United.
The Portuguese midfield maestro declined a highly lucrative offer to play in Saudi Arabia prior to the Club World Cup during the past summer and discussed how Ruben Amorim played a part in his decision to remain at Old Trafford.
Nevertheless, interest in the 30-year-old offensive midfielder has not diminished, and he has been compelled to reaffirm his dedication.
Bruno Fernandes makes fresh decision on Manchester United future after further interest
It is quite something to consider the potential situation of Manchester United had Fernandes, currently positioned at no.4 in FourFourTwo‘s ranking of the top attacking midfielders globally, not been a part of the team last season.
Throughout all competitions, he achieved 19 goals and contributed 19 assists, guiding them to a Europa League final. Although the club’s Premier League performance might be debated, it is difficult to place any blame on Fernandes.
All of this contributes to the satisfaction that he has, as reported by the Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, rejected another approach from Saudi Arabia.
The team in question is Al-Nassr, which already possesses a significant Portuguese presence, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix, and manager Jorge Jesus, all of whom share Fernandes’ nationality.
The report indicates that Fernandes “remained steadfast in his resolve to continue spearheading the revamped Manchester United on the field,” which will undoubtedly be welcome news for Manchester United supporters.
Fernandes will be 31 years old in September and has two years remaining on his current contract in the northwest, with Manchester United retaining the option to extend it for an additional year.
From FourFourTwo’s perspective, Fernandes has arrived at the correct conclusion. He stands as one of the league’s most exceptional offensive talents, possessing a substantial contribution to offer at the apex of European football, notwithstanding the absence of participation in continental competitions in the upcoming season.
With the World Cup scheduled for the following year, it is probable that Fernandes had this in consideration. He is anticipated to assume a pivotal position for his national squad in Mexico, Canada, and the United States, rendering optimal preparedness of utmost importance.
Transfermarkt assesses his value at €50 million.
