Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal wants to sign Bruno Fernandes for the club's World Cup and Manchester United is worried that their captain could now go to the output door now
Bruno Fernandes seems to have dropped a hint about his future in Manchester United after placing a cryptic message on his Instagram story. The Portuguese attacking midfielder is supposed to have been set up a deadline by Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, who are willing to pay enormous money to take him to the middle -east prior to the World Cup club in the United States.
There have been strong suggestions in the last 24 hours that Fernandes has effectively received a week to decide his future after Hilal had already submitted an eye -having proposal worth a reported £ 200 million for three years.
The Saudi club would also be willing to pay a considerable fee, possibly worth up to £ 100 million, to praise Fernandes from Old Trafford, although Ruben Amorim wants to keep him in the club.
Fernandes placed a Portuguese quote on his social media account on Saturday afternoon in the midst of the Saga that translates into: “If you tried and failed, congratulations! There are people who don't even try.”
The agent of the 31-year-old Miguel Pinho went to Riyad this week for conversations with all Hilal managers and there is now a growing optimism that a deal can now be closed.
Fernandes has left the tour after the season of United in the Far East after the conclusion of their Premier League campaign and he played on Friday in their 3-1 friendly victory over Hong Kong.
After the game, Rode Devils -Baas Amorim clearly spoke that he did not think his captain had now played his last game for the club.
Amorim said: “I don't think so I don't know for sure, nobody knows, but I don't think so. I think he sees us what actions take to change things and that is all he asks. I think he wants to stay. He says no to many things, but that shows that he wants to win.
It is supposed to have told Hilal Fernandes that this is a one -off offer, despite the fact that they have tried the player in recent years.
The Portugal International wants to win trophies, but United is expected to operate with limited finances this summer after losing the Europa League final at Spurs and Missing Champions League football.
United sources have repeatedly insisted that Fernandes is not for sale, but if he insists to stop Old Trafford, they will reluctantly have to accept the money that would go a long way to financing their rebuilding.
