Bruno Fernandes reveals his wife played a crucial role in keeping him at Manchester United this season

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has revealed that his wife played a crucial role in his decision to reject a lucrative Saudi Arabia offer last summer and remain with the Red Devils this season.

During the previous summer transfer window, Bruno was linked with a major move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, with reports indicating that his agent Miguel Pinto negotiated a transfer deal worth approximately 100 million pounds (around 4.37 billion baht).

Ultimately, however, the 31-year-old opted to continue his career with Manchester United. He has been instrumental in helping the team secure third place in the Premier League and earn qualification for the UEFA Champions League, contributing 8 goals and 18 assists.

Recently, Bruno revealed that his wife's perspective was key to his decision to stay at Manchester United. "I stayed because I believe I can still give back to the club. Of course, the situation in Saudi Arabia involves a lot of money, but what's good about my family is that my wife is as grounded as I am."

"We know we don't want to be the richest people in the world. We just want to achieve our dreams and live a good life with our children, and try to be as successful as possible."

"My wife asked me something like: Have you achieved your dreams yet? Have you done everything you wanted to do?"

"And that small comment made me understand that she thinks like me. We'll keep pushing forward and see where it takes us."
