Praise for Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes decided to continue with MU.

A Bola commented: “Today, it is extremely rare for top stars to refuse million-dollar offers from Saudi Arabia. This decision is proof of their commitment to the team where Bruno Fernandes is captain.”

Meanwhile, veteran commentator Bruno Andrade emphasized on television: “Bruno Fernandes is not someone who will abandon a team in difficult times. He did so with Sporting, and now he continues with Man United.”

Andrade recalled the incident at Sporting Lisbon, when many key players chose to leave the team, but Fernandes remained. “That is part of his character. Loyalty, steadfastness and the courage to face challenges. Man United were short of money, without the Champions League, and the coaching position was precarious - but he stayed. That is admirable,” he emphasized.

Fernandes' decision comes after days of serious consideration of an offer from Al Hilal - an ambitious Saudi Pro League club. According to ESPN , the Middle Eastern club is willing to pay around £100 million in transfer fees and a salary of up to £700,000 a week for the Portuguese midfielder. His agent, Miguel Pinho, even flew to Riyadh to negotiate.

Fernandes was a rare bright spot in Man United's disappointing 2024/25 season.

However, on the morning of June 3, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Fernandes had rejected the offer. “Despite the crazy contract from Al Hilal, Bruno Fernandes wants to continue playing at the top level in Europe. He has made his decision,” Romano shared on X.

Fernandes has been a rare bright spot in a disappointing 2024/25 campaign for Man United. In a club that needs to rebuild from the ground up, keeping the captain is not only valuable professionally, but also symbolically - a statement that loyalty and fighting spirit are still present at Old Trafford.

While most players are being lured by the financial temptations of emerging leagues, Fernandes's faith in a shaky sporting project shows a genuine desire: to play for the top, not just for the number on the contract.

If Man United are to be reborn, they need people like Bruno Fernandes - not just for goals and assists, but for leadership qualities in the worst of times.
