Man United’s Bruno Fernandes Open to Saudi, MLS Move After 2025-26 Season

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a lucrative £200 million offer from Saudi club Al-Hilal and expressed his intention to remain at Manchester United until after the 2026 World Cup to avoid disrupting his international campaign. Despite interest from other Saudi Pro League teams like Al-Ittihad and potential offers from MLS and major European clubs, Fernandes is open to leaving only after the 2025-26 season, when he will be nearing 32 years old. Manchester United, having recently invested £130 million in Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha for the attacking midfield roles, may be willing to entertain transfer offers for Fernandes next summer. Fernandes has acknowledged that he has unfinished business at United and believes he can still contribute to the club, though he is currently adapting to a deeper midfield role under manager Ruben Amorim. His contract runs until 2027 with an option for extension, and while he has resisted immediate moves, a compelling offer from Saudi clubs could still influence his decision before their transfer window closes. Overall, Fernandes aims to balance personal career goals, club loyalty, and financial considerations as he contemplates his future after the World Cup.
