Fernandes considering quitting Man Utd for Al-Hilal

Bruno Fernandes is considering leaving Manchester United next week. He has a lucrative offer from Saudi Pro-League club Al-Hilal.

Fernandes' representatives recently met with Al-Hilal officials to discuss the move. This transfer would allow him to participate in the upcoming Club World Cup. The topic has been widely discussed during United's current tour of Asia.

Although Fernandes remains focused as captain, he hasn't guaranteed his future at the club. This uncertainty has led some to believe he might leave. Manchester United appears relaxed about the situation.

Head coach Ruben Amorim wants Fernandes to stay at Old Trafford. However, he understands that an £80 million transfer fee could help reshape his squad. Amorim commented on Fernandes' performances and leadership, emphasizing his responsibility as captain.

Fernandes is expected to play in United's game against Hong Kong on Friday at 13:00 BST. Al-Hilal aims for a significant signing ahead of their Club World Cup campaign. They will face Real Madrid, Red Bull Salzburg, and Pachuca in the group phase.

Last August, Fernandes signed a contract extension until 2027, with an option for another year. He is one of United's highest-paid players; the Saudi offer could more than double his earnings if accepted.

He was the top scorer last season with 19 goals. Many believe United would have faced relegation without his contributions. However, some critics like former skipper Roy Keane argue that he lacks discipline and is part of the problem at Old Trafford.

Since joining from Sporting in January 2020 for £47 million, Fernandes has made 290 appearances and scored 98 goals for Manchester United.
