Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, may soon think about leaving Old Trafford. On Monday, 15 September 2025, reports said the 31-year-old could change his mind after turning down Saudi Pro League offers in the summer.

Sources told Football Insider that Fernandes will review his future if results do not improve in the coming months.In June 2025, Bruno Fernandes rejected interest from Saudi Arabia, where clubs such as Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr were ready to pay huge wages. He said at the time that he still believed in Manchester United and wanted to compete at the top level in Europe. Fernandes, who joined the club in January 2020, has a contract until June 2027.On 11 September 2025, former United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that the club will not rule out selling Fernandes if an “incredible” offer comes in.
