Faced with the escalating rumors of leaving the team, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes made an official statement, firmly stating that he will continue to play for Manchester United and devote himself to the team's reconstruction plan.

This core midfielder has just finished another outstanding season. In the 2024-25 season, Fernandes contributed 19 goals and 19 assists to the team. He won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year and the Players' Player of the Year awards, and was elected Player of the Month for four consecutive months. His personal performance was impeccable.

However, after Manchester United lost both the Premier League and the Europa League, Fernandes' future became the focus of media attention. In an interview with Portuguese media, Fernandes admitted that he had indeed received an invitation from the Saudi team Al-Hilal.

Fernandez said: "The chairman of the other side called personally and invited me to join. They were even waiting for me. But I talked to the coach Ruben Amorim and he wanted me to stay. And Manchester United was unwilling to sell me. They didn't need that money. If I really want to leave, the club will cooperate, but I don't want to leave."

Manchester United has also started the summer recruitment, with the first signing being Wolves striker Mateus Cunha, showing that the management is trying to strengthen the squad and improve competitiveness. As the captain, Fernandes said that he is still eager to compete for honors on the top stage.

"I want to continue to play at the highest level, in the most important tournaments, and I believe I can still do it," Fernandez said.

As preparations for the 2025 summer season begin, Manchester United will soon depart for the United States for pre-season warm-up matches. Fernandes's declaration of staying in the team not only stabilizes the morale of the team, but also injects a dose of confidence into the team.
