Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has rejected a move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Portuguese international has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent weeks, with Al Hilal offering a hefty salary to try and convince him to join. Fernandes' future as been a major topic of discussion for United fans recently, with the majority of the fan base understandably wanting him to stay at Old Trafford.
The former Sporting man has been a crucial player for Ruben Amorim's side over the years, and losing him would be a disaster, no matter the fee. The attraction of playing in Saudi Arabia has been tempting for a host of players, and Fernandes has now made his decision after an offer from the Middle East.

GIVEMESPORT sources recently confirmed that Fernandes received an offer of around £700,000-a-week to leave United for Al Hilal, and he would earn approximately £65m each season when other financial factors came into play. Accommodation, flights, signing-on fee and individual and match bonuses would have boosted Fernandes' earnings, but he's opted to remain at Old Trafford for now.
Whether Fernandes will decide to stay at United or seek a move to another side in Europe remains to be seen, but it's certainly a positive sign for the Red Devils that the Portuguese international has rejected the offer from Saudi Arabia. Losing Fernandes would have been a disaster, despite the confirmed signing of Matheus Cunha.
