Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo made his move to the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr in January last year, possibly suggesting potential recruits to the club’s management.
The speculation arose that he might have recommended a former teammate.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo’s aspirations seem to have hit a roadblock with Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes expressing his desire to stay with the Red Devils, as per reports on Friday.
Fernandes emphasized his commitment to remaining at his current club, stating that he wants his aspirations to align with those of the club, particularly after a challenging season.
With Manchester United finishing at their lowest Premier League position, securing qualification for the European Cup hinges on defeating Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday.
In an article published in The Players’ Tribune, Fernandes reflected on his dream of playing for Manchester United but stressed the need for assurances from the club’s owners to match his ambitions.
Expressing a desire to compete for the league title and play Champions League football, Fernandes reiterated his commitment to the club and his family’s desire to stay.
While previously indicating he would assess his future at Old Trafford after the European Championship, the 29-year-old has been closely monitored by Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.
Amidst a challenging season, Fernandes acknowledged his responsibility to give more and emphasized the importance of giving their all in the upcoming match against City to move forward positively.
