Fernandes Rejects £100m Al‑Hilal Offer, Delays Decision

Bruno Fernandes will mark his 300th Manchester United appearance and says he will not discuss his future until after the 2026 World Cup, adding that he feels good at the club and wants to chase major trophies. The 31-year-old rejected a reported up to £100m offer from Al-Hilal this summer after consulting Cristiano Ronaldo, United executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, coach Ruben Amorim and his wife. His contract runs to 2027 with an option year and reportedly includes a clause permitting a move outside England for around £56.68m, while European interest is ongoing but formal talks are on hold. Durable and influential since joining in January 2020, Fernandes has missed only a handful of games and is praised for leading by example in training and on matchdays. Young goalkeeper Senne Lammens has impressed since arriving this summer, with a minor collision involving Fernandes highlighting early teething moments. Fernandes's transfer to United was the culmination of a protracted pursuit that nearly collapsed over concerns about a dressing-room video but ultimately became one of the club's most successful signings.
