Al Hilal's interest 

Bruno was reportedly on the verge of leaving the club last summer, with the likes of Barcelona linked, before signing a contract extension until 2027. 

Despite the length of his contract, Al Hilal are not discouraged from pursuing Bruno Fernandes, as Fabrizio Romano reported that they have added his name to their shortlist this summer.

Per the report, Al Hilal are yet to approach the Red Devils to discuss the possible transfer. Manchester United are also not interested in selling the midfielder, as they see him as an integral member of Ruben Amorim's side.

Fernandes has scored 19 goals and provided 18 assists this season, a world-class tally. He is also one of the superstars in the game, making him an ideal match for Al Hilal's desires. With the exit of Neymar, the Blue Waves have been in search of a new superstar. 

Manchester United's stance 

While they have had to undergo stringent cost-cutting methods this season, given their financial situation, the Red Devils are uninterested in selling Bruno, despite the huge possible financial upsides. 

Amorim communicated this clearly to the media in his latest press conference, saying, “He is a leader, the captain. It is natural that people want Bruno.” But we want to keep him at Man United. He is one of the top players in the world.”
