The Portuguese Bruno Fernandes, captain of Manchester United, confirmed his determination to continue with his club, putting an end to the rumors that recently linked him to a move to the Saudi league, and affirming his desire to continue his career within Europe.

During a press conference he held with the Portuguese national team before the match against Ireland in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Fernandes appeared confident and reassured about his future, explaining that he is very happy at "the Red Devils" and is not thinking about leaving at the moment.

The Portuguese star smiled and said: "No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but I am very happy in Manchester, and if I weren't, I wouldn't have stayed this long. My complete focus is on giving my best for the club."

The United captain recalled his memories of playing under coach Jorge Jesus, the current coach of Al-Nassr, confirming that he learned a lot from him during their time together at Sporting Lisbon, especially regarding positioning and dealing with compact defenses.

Fernandes added: "I learned precise details from Jesus about movement and playmaking from deep, and I still benefit from those lessons to this day. He is a special coach and a person who left a significant mark on my career."

On his part, coach Ruben Amorim, the current manager of Manchester United, praised his captain, considering him the "thinking mind" of the team, and confirming that his influence goes beyond scoring goals to leading his teammates and changing the rhythm of matches with his unique style.

Manchester United is going through a difficult transitional phase in the Premier League, currently sitting in tenth place with 10 points from 7 matches, and is preparing for a tough match against Liverpool at Anfield in a true test of Amorim's and Fernandes' ambitions.

Despite being 31 years old, Bruno remains one of the club's most prominent symbols, having played approximately 298 matches since joining in 2020, scoring 100 goals, and winning three titles, including the FA Cup in 2024 and the EFL Cup in 2023.

The Daily Mail revealed that Manchester United's management will not part with their captain for less than £60 million, after he rejected huge offers from Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, preferring to stay in Europe and continue fighting with his team for the top.
