Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, according to reports.
Fernandes, arguably United’s best and most important player in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, has been weighing up a sensational offer from Al Hilal.
The Saudi giants were ready to pay Fernandes around £200m over a three-year period after making him their No. 1 transfer target this summer.
Fernandes’ camp held positive talks with Al Hilal over the weekend, with Manchester United open to a deal despite his immense influence due to their difficult financial situation.
But, according to Fabrizio Romano, Fernandes has now rejected a move to Saudi as he wants to continue playing ‘at the top level’ in Europe.
