Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been given one week to make a decision about his future by Al-Hilal. The Saudi Pro League side are ready to offer Fernandes a hugely lucrative deal if he decides to quit Old Trafford.
Fernandes admitted after United were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final that he is open to leaving if the club decide they want to cash in on him. "If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it is what it is," he said.
"And football sometimes is like this. I have always been honest. I've always said I will be here until the club says to me that it's time to go. I'm eager to do more, to be able to bring the club to the great days.
"In the day that the club thinks that I'm too much or it's time to part ways, football is like this, you never know it. But I've always said it and I keep my word in the same way."
And according to a report from the Sun, Al-Hilal are ready to pay United £100m for their captain and offer Fernandes wages of up to £700,000-a-week. However, they want an answer from Fernandes by next week.

That is because Al-Hilal want to complete the deal ahead of the Club World Cup, which is due to start on June 14 in the United States. The report states that United ideally do not want to sell Fernandes, but their hand could be forced due to the finances on offer.
United's failure to win the Europa League and qualify for next season's Champions League mean that difficult decisions will need to be made. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are currently out on loan and they are all expected to be sold this summer.
Alejandro Garnacho could also be sold, with the 20-year-old admitting he is unsure where his future lies after the Europa League final. "Up until the final, I played every round helping the team, and today I play 20 minutes, I don't know," said Garnacho.
"The final will influence [my decision], but the whole season, the situation of the club. I'm going to try to enjoy the summer and see what happens afterwards."

Garnacho's brother, Roberto, also criticised manager Ruben Amorim's decision not to start him in the final. "Working as no-one else, helping every round, coming from two goals in the last two finals, just to be on the pitch for 19 mins and get thrown under the bus," wrote Roberto Garnacho.
However, when asked if he should have turned to Garnacho earlier in the final, Amorim said: "How many times have we had this conversation, and it was the opposite? Some players come in, like Mason Mount, against Bilbao and changed the game.
"So now it is easy to say. Who missed the big opportunity in the first half against Bilbao? Yeah [Garnacho]. Of course, now it is easy for us to talk about a lot of views."
