Al Hilal eye Man Utd revenge as new target identified after Bruno Fernandes snub
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has now rejected a mega-money move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal but they could still cause the Red Devils an issue Al Hilal could be set to disrupt Manchester United's summer transfer plans - despite being rejected by Red Devils skipper Bruno Fernandes. The Saudi Pro League side have spent several weeks working on a deal for the 31-year-old attacking midfielder but they have now been snubbed by Fernandes, who wants to continue playing in Europe. Al Hilal were prepared to pay eye-watering cash to get a deal over the line before the Club World Cup but they have now been forced to move onto other targets and one of the names that is now of key interest is Ederson of Atalanta, who has been courted by Amorim is keen to strengthen his options in the middle of the park but United have prioritised reinvigorating their attack during the opening stages of the summer window. A deal for Wolves ' Matheus Cunha has been completed while a move for Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo is now gathering pace after he approved a switch to Old Trafford. But once United have made some sales, they plan to make notable changes to Amorim's midfield and Ederson is a name of huge admiration. United are among a list of top European clubs to have held talks with the player's agent Andre Cury in the past few months. Manchester City have also shown an interest in the 25-year-old, who is valued at around £50m, however, Al Hilal are now considering a move of their own and they are armed with big money. The winds of change are beginning to sweep through the Saudi Pro League club and they're currently in deep discussions with Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi about replacing Jorge Jesus following his departure in early May. There has also been interest in Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola and Fulham's Marco Silva but both head coaches politely rejected the advances. Meanwhile, Al Hilal are also working on a deal for AC Milan left-back Theo Hernandez and there is also admiration for Aston Villa duo Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana. Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is also popular at Al Hilal but he's expected to stay at St James' Park this summer after they secured Champions League qualification for the second time in three seasons. Al Hilal are determined to add some star quality to their ranks ahead of the Club World Cup where they'll face Real Madrid, Red Bull Salzburg and Mexican outfit Pachuca in the group stages. Last week, deals were in the pipeline for both Cristiano Ronaldo and Fernandes but both deals now look off with Ronaldo poised to sign a new contract with Al-Nassr. Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is among those that could depart the Middle East club this summer as they target high-profile changes to their squad.

Bruno Fernandes rejects Al-Hilal bid, will continue at Manchester United
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, choosing instead to continue playing football in Europe. The Portuguese midfielder, 30, had reportedly been offered a weekly salary of around £700,000 by Al Hilal—an offer that would have netted him approximately £65 million per season, including bonuses and other incentives. Despite the eye-watering proposal, Fernandes has decided against leaving Old Trafford for the Middle East. Fabrizio Romano reported that the decision was rooted in Fernandes' desire to remain competitive at the highest level in Europe. 🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Bruno Fernandes has REJECTED Al Hilal proposal. ❌🇸🇦 Despite crazy contract proposal from the Saudi Pro League club, Bruno Fernandes wants to continue playing football in Europe. Man United captain wants to play at top level in Europe. Decision made. — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 3, 2025 Fernandes made 36 Premier League appearances during the 2024–25 season, contributing 8 goals and 10 assists. His leadership and creativity in midfield have been central to Manchester United's efforts, particularly during a period of transition under manager Ruben Amorim. The offer from Al Hilal is part of a wider recruitment push by Saudi clubs, who have already lured several high-profile European stars. However, Fernandes' rejection is seen as a boost for United, whose fan base has expressed concern over speculation surrounding the captain's future. While it remains unclear whether Fernandes could seek a move elsewhere in Europe later in the summer, his refusal to join Al Hilal signals his ongoing commitment to top-tier football. The club has recently bolstered its attacking options with the signing of Matheus Cunha, though Fernandes remains a critical component of United's midfield setup.

Coman, has been a key figure at Bayern since joining in 2015, famously scoring the winning goal in the 2020 UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. However, his role has diminished recently, prompting the player to look for a fresh start elsewhere. Premier League and Saudi Pro League clubs have already been informed of Coman's decision, and initial approaches are expected soon.

Man Utd reignite interest in £40m striker they failed to sign two years ago
Manchester United are reportedly interested in a former Premier League striker Erik ten Hag considered signing two years ago. It is no secret that Ruben Amorim needs a new No.9 after Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee's woeful season in front of goal. The pair scored just seven league goals between them, while only four clubs found the back of the net fewer times than United in the top-flight as they slumped to 15th place. The arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolves will help matters but finding more firepower is proving a tricky task. United have already been turned down by Liam Delap who is joining Chelsea, while transfers for Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen and Jean-Philippe Mateta are proving difficult.

As a result, it is now said the Red Devils are one of three Premier League clubs weighing up a move for former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic. talkSPORT report that the Serbian has been put up for sale by Al-Hilal – the Saudi Pro League side that are trying to sign United captain Bruno Fernandes. Al-Hilal are also interested in signing Osimhen and Cristiano Ronaldo as they prepare for the Club World Cup but will need to sell in order to keep within foreign quota rules. They have slapped a £40million price tag on Mitrovic but would also be willing to loan him out, with United, Everton and West Ham keeping tabs on the situation. Mitrovic initially failed to make an impact in England with Newcastle but rediscovered his shooting boots following a move to Fulham in 2018. Clubs: Newcastle United, Fulham Appearances: 129 Goals: 38 Assists: 11 Yellow cards: 21 Red cards: 2 The 30-year-old notably scored a record 43 goals in a single Championship season before netting 14 in just 24 Premier League appearances in 2022/23. More Trending That form caught the eye of then-United boss Ten Hag but his interest cooled after Mitrovic shockingly shoved referee Chris Kavanagh during an FA Cup defeat to, ironically, United. The striker was punished with an eight game ban for his actions before being sold to Al Hilal for £50m, while the Red Devils gambled £72m on Hojlund. While the Dane has massively underwhelmed, Mitrovic has 68 goals in 79 games in Saudi Arabia, winning a league and cup double last year. He is also his country's all-time top scorer with finding the back of the net 59 times in 89 caps. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
