00:00Bruno Fernandes is giving serious consideration to a lucrative offer to leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
00:07It's understood that Saudi club Al-Hilal have made United an offer in the region of £80 million
00:13that would see Bruno Fernandes triple his wages and earn around £21 million a year if he were to join them in the summer transfer window.
00:22There's a strict deadline on the transfer to be completed.
00:25The Saudi club want to have Fernandes registered as a player in time for the Club World Cup which begins early next month.
00:32The Saudi side play Real Madrid in their opening match before they play RB Salzburg and Pachuca in the group stages over in the United States.
00:41For Manchester United, well it's an offer that they have to consider really due to the tight financial situation at the club
00:46but there is a question to be asked whether they can even afford to lose their club captain.
00:51Bruno Fernandes of course won the United Player of the Year award.
00:55Once again a record fourth time equaling that of Cristiano Ronaldo and David de Gea.
01:00He scored 19 goals, registered 20 assists across all competitions
01:04and there's a legitimate argument that United could have been relegated from the Premier League
01:08if not for the inspiration of Fernandes.
01:12There's often a debate about his fit in the side, the tactical set-up under Amerim
01:17and yes there might be players who are, in quotation marks, a better fit for United
01:22but are there any players who can match the inspiration and the ability of Bruno Fernandes,
01:28a player who is often derided by pundits, by rival fans
01:31and the reason for that is because he's very, very good at what he does.
01:34You know, he might not always have, you know, maybe, you know,
01:38he might not always have the temperament that some fans want
01:41and he might sometimes get a bit too animated, a bit too emotional on the pitch
01:45but is that really a bad thing, particularly for United's side
01:47that are looking to rebuild under Ruben Amerim?
01:50United are understood to be relaxed about the situation.
01:53They still feel that, you know, he has a key role to play at Old Trafford.
01:56Of course, he's had a new one-year contract extension last summer
01:59but after United missed out on Champions League qualification
02:02when defeating the Europa League foul to Tottenham
02:03there is a serious question to be asked.
02:06Fernandes is giving more consideration than ever before
02:08and it does feel like, for the first time really,
02:11there is a genuine possibility that Bruno Fernandes could leave
02:14Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
02:16Of course, these things can move quickly.
02:18United play Hong Kong in their final pre-season match,
02:21post-season match, sorry, on Friday
02:23and, yeah, we should have more updates in the coming days
02:26and by the time you even watch this video,
02:28we might even know what's going to happen with Bruno Fernandes
02:30but as of now, Fernandes has given serious consideration
02:33to a summer exit.
02:34Al-Halal, the Saudi club, have made an offer for him
02:38and we will see how it transpires to be.
