"More than hurting me, it makes me sad," Fernandes said. "I'm a player that no-one can criticise, I'm always available, I always give my best. I could have left in this transfer window, I would have earned much more money. I would have won many trophies this season, but I decided not to go, not only for family reasons but because I genuinely love the club."
"Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes says it "hurt" to realise the club "wanted me to leave" when Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal proposed a huge offer in the summer. The Portugal international, 31, rejected the move to the Saudi Pro League in order to stay at Old Trafford, despite Al-Hilal reportedly being open to paying a fee of about 100m and wages of up to 700,000 a week. Fernandes has a contract that runs to 2027, with the option of an additional year."
Bruno Fernandes felt hurt and sad that Manchester United appeared willing to let him leave after a summer Al-Hilal bid. He rejected a lucrative Al-Hilal offer reportedly involving about £100m in fee and wages up to £700,000 per week, choosing to remain at Old Trafford for family reasons and personal loyalty. Fernandes joined United from Sporting in January 2020 for £47m and has made over 300 appearances, scoring 103 goals and providing 93 assists. This season he has contributed five goals and seven assists, including a free-kick goal and an assist in a 4-4 draw with Bournemouth.
