Bruno Fernandes has given Manchester United a huge boost by rejecting a lucrative step to Saudi Aarabia and Gary Neville has shared his thoughts about the decision of the Red Devil's Captain
Gary Neville has praised the character of Bruno Fernandes after the Manchester United star has rejected a wonderful movement to Saudi Arabia. The future of the Portuguese midfielder has been in the air since the end of the season.
He admitted that he would leave if he were told by club heads to leave, while Saudi side has chased Al-Hilal his services. They gave Fernandes a deadline to decide whether they accept their lucrative offer or not.
Since then he has decided to move to the middle -east, whereby Gary Neville suggests that the call says everything about the personality of Fernandes, given the money offered. Speaking at Sky Sports News, he said: 'It's important.
“I think there was an element of this situation that meant that United received that level of money, for someone from Bruno's age, of course you could not say that it would have been a bad deal.
“But on the other hand, the star player of Manchester United – sometimes only a player – has been Bruno Fernandes for the last four, five, six years. He is so important.
“The fact that he wants to stay, the fact that he wants to pass this and want to come out the other side, because at the end of this season it would have been easy for him to say,” Look, I am ready here, “will make him more of Manchester United fans loved.
“To reject that money at a point where Manchester United is on their lowest ebb and say: 'No, I want to fight through this, I want to see it through the other side, I want to come out and achieve things,” I think it says a lot about him as a person, as a character.
Now that Fernandes turns a move to the middle -east, he could possibly welcome a number of new faces in Old Trafford. United has already sealed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, while Bryan Mbeumo seems to follow.

With that signing, Neville added: “They need players who come in and run the ground and Cunha and Mbeumo clearly have Premier League experience.
“I know that Ruben Amorim has this system where he plays these two players behind a striker. If those two players are Mbeumo and Cunha, then Manchester United will be able to travel at least quickly from deep positions to attacking positions because they can both run.
“We know people like Sancho, (Marcus) Rashford, Antony and probably (Alejandro) Garnacho, so they absolutely need players in those positions.”
