Having weighed it up for days, Bruno Fernandes decided not to join Saudi Arabia’s top league team, Al-Hilal. After discussing this with his family, they chose not to leave Manchester United. Even though the salary was rumoured to be ‘doubleâ€?of his current one, he still decided not to transfer. 

Manchester United’s head coach, Ruben Amorim, asked the captain not to leave the team. Fernandes stated ‘They said if I wanted to go I could, but they didn't need the money. I spoke to coach Ruben Amorim who, throughout that period, he was pushing for me not to go.�nbsp;

‘For better or worse, this is how I see football and I'm passionate about football and this is the decision I've made,â€?he added. 

With this decision, the loyal captain will surely gain more fans. By rejecting an ‘exciting offerâ€?that would change his career trajectory and staying with Manchester United, even though they are at their ‘worstâ€? his loyalty will not remain unseen.
