Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes has revealed his desire to continue playing at the highest level was a key factor in rejecting a huge wage bill from Saudi giants Al Hilal. Al

Hilal offered Fernandes a four-year contract worth €100m and were prepared to pay United £80m.

However, Fernandes rejected the offer on Tuesday. Speaking to the national team’s press, he was asked whether he could leave:

“There is a possibility. Last month, the president of Al Hilal called me,” the 30-year-old Portuguese began.

“Then there was a period when they waited for me to decide my future. ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี. I was open to leaving if Manchester United thought it was the right time.

“I spoke to Ruben Amorim and he tried his best to convince me to change my mind. “

And I spoke to the club and they didn’t want to sell. If I didn’t really want to leave, we didn’t talk about money. That’s what the agent does. “

I spoke to my family to understand what I wanted. My wife asked the questions. I never said yes or no. She puts my career first. “

If it happens, it will be an easy move. Because I have great friends in Ruben Neves and Joao Cancelo already there,” he said.

“But I want to play at the highest level and in big competitions. I still feel I can do that. I want to be happy and continue to have passion for football. And I am happy with my decision.”
