"EXCLUSIVE: Bruno Fernandes has REJECTED Al Hilal proposal. ❌🇸🇦
Despite crazy contract proposal from the Saudi Pro League club, Bruno Fernandes wants to continue playing football in Europe.
Man United captain wants to play at top level in Europe. Decision made."
I did think it odd he'd want to go there and did suspect that what he was doing was kind of feeding the story a bit so that United had to make some kind of big moves this Summer. Let's hope he's played his hand to perfection.
The only issue I suppose is that he wants to "play at top level in Europe"!
Bruno rejects Saudi!

More from Bruno #Fernandes:
Al Hilal were very kind. They spoke to my agent. Then I spoke to my wife. She asked: what do you want to do? She always supports my decisions. It would have been easy to move there. I know the Portuguese players there very well. But I want to play at the highest level and compete for major titles. I can do that, and I still want to. I’m very passionate about football.”

Can I respectfully remind you that only last week we finished above a team that'll be in the Champions League next season. How quick we forget.

If Bruno does want to leave to go to a European club then I'd sound Bayern out for Kane.
I don't think he leaves though. He'll want to lift that PL trophy next May.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, given that we-are going to win the PL next season according to you (written binding contract, of which the penalty is to renounce your welsh heritage) Kane would be a fool not to join us
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kane can join for a cut price deal next Summer to help with our CL charge.

United don't need the money - interesting!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Heard something last week that it's entirely possible United and SJR could yet be looked into by the financial authorities that regulate the Stock Exchange due to what he said in the interview he gave to Sky a few months ago when he said United were running out of money and could be broke by Xmas if he they didn't take the action they did at the time.

*Two places* above a CL qualifier. That's equivalent to third in the table at worst.

Apologies RR! Of course it's two places!

Forgive me, that was remiss of me. My humble apologies, how could I forget that monumental achievement?

Is there any indication that Bruno won’t try and move to a top European club? He strikes me as the type who Bayern would like

I don't think there's explicit indication that he wouldn't consider a move, nor any suggestion that he's looking for one. I think the thing that makes it unlikely is that United would be reluctant to lose Bruno unless a stupendous offer came in, and it's hard to imagine a club that operates within any kind of financial limits investing £100m + massive salary on a player who will be 31 at the start of the next season.
