According to talkSPORT reporter Ben Jacobs, Bruno Fernandes has told teammates and those close to him that he intends to stay at Manchester United.
Bruno Fernandes is expected to remain at Manchester United.
Although Bruno Fernandes had no formal discussions with the club about his future before the World Cup, he has told teammates and close associates that he intends to stay with the team.
The 31-year-old currently has one year remaining on his contract, which also includes a one-year extension option.
In addition, Bruno Fernandes's contract includes a release clause of 65 million euros (approximately 56 million pounds), but this clause only applies to clubs outside England.
Last summer, Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ittihad all extended invitations to him.
Before last year's Club World Cup, Bruno Fernandes was particularly attracted to Al-Hilal, but he ultimately decided that staying at Old Trafford was the best option, both from a football and personal perspective.
Saudi Arabia had hoped that Bruno Fernandes would consider leaving Manchester United after the World Cup, but talkSPORT understands that the Portuguese international plans to stay with the team for at least another season.
Al-Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, remains very interested in him. Portugal national team coach Roberto Martinez is in discussions with the Riyadh club about a potential managerial role after the World Cup.
However, talkSPORT understands that Bruno Fernandes is still expected to remain at Old Trafford.
Sources have confirmed to talkSPORT that manager Ruben Amorim played a key role in Bruno Fernandes's decision to stay.
Michael Carrick also wants his captain to remain, and Manchester United insiders insist that Bruno Fernandes is an important part of the club's long-term plans.
