Several big-spending Saudi Pro League teams tried to sign Bruno Fernandes in the summer. Al-Ittihad was linked with the Manchester United captain. To move to the Saudi Pro League, he demanded an annual salary of €40 million. However, a Saudi deal did not materialize.
Since joining Manchester United from Sporting CP in January 2020 for €55 million, Bruno Fernandes has been a key player. The 30-year-old playmaker has played nearly 300 games for the club. He has scored 98 goals and provided 86 assists.
MLS emerges as a potential destination for Manchester United captain
While Bruno Fernandes has been a standout performer for Man United, his long-term future was questioned during the summer transfer window. Al-Hilal pursued him for several weeks, hoping to secure his services with a record fee. Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad also showed interest in the former Sporting CP captain.
Ruben Amorim has been determined to keep Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United beyond the summer transfer window. However, the latest reports suggest the 30-year-old Portuguese international is considering leaving. A move to MLS appeals to him, but a summer transfer is impossible because the window closed a week ago.

Bruno Fernandes has been Manchester United’s club captain since the 2023/24 season. Erik ten Hag gave him the captaincy after removing Harry Maguire from the role. It remains to be seen whether the current Manchester United captain will still move to the Saudi Pro League.
The situation remains fluid. Football fans will closely watch Bruno Fernandes’ next steps, especially with MLS as a possible destination. His decision will impact Manchester United’s future plans and ambitions in upcoming seasons.
