Bruno Fernandes receives new approach to leave Man Utd this summer
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has received an approach to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, according to reports in Portugal. Earlier this summer, Fernandes rejected a lucrative offer to join Al-Hilal with the Saudi side willing to pay the midfielder a contract worth £200 million over three seasons. 'There was an opportunity,' Fernandes said in June. 'The [Al-Hilal] president called me and asked if I wanted to go there. They were waiting for me. I spoke to coach [Ruben] Amorim. He asked me not to go. 'Manchester United didn't want to sell me. They don't need the money. If I had wanted to leave, they would have made it happen.'

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. However, A Bola reports that Al-Nassr have now made an attempt to sign Fernandes by approaching the 30-year-old this week. The report claims that Al-Nassr's new head coach, Jorge Jesus, is personally driving the club's push to sign Fernandes having managed the midfielder for one season at Sporting CP. Al-Nassr are said to feel that the presence of Jorge Jesus, as well as his Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, will be enough to convince Fernandes to make the move to the Saudi Pro League. Earlier this week, Al-Nassr also secured a £43.7m (€50m) deal to sign Portuguese forward Joao Felix from Chelsea. Fernandes is currently with United's squad as they prepare for the final game of their pre-season tour of the United States against Everton on Sunday.

'I will be here until the club tells me it is time to leave,' Fernandes said. 'I am available to make the club have great days again. The day the club thinks I am too much, or it is time to leave, football is like that and you never know. 'If the club thinks it is time to leave, because they want to make some money, that is what it is and football is like that sometimes.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.
