Bruno Fernandes rejects Saudi offer to remain with Manchester United

Summary

Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, turned down a lucrative offer worth £640,000 per week from the Saudi Pro League during the summer’s World Cup. The total proposal from the league amounted to £133 million over four years. This follows Fernandes's previous rejection of an offer from Al-Hilal last year. He is currently under contract for another year at Old Trafford, with an option for an additional year. Fernandes, who recently won the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award, will aim to improve after United's 2-0 defeat to Hull City last weekend as they prepare to face Ipswich Town at Old Trafford on Sunday.
