Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is attracting a lot of interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
However, the journalist told the United Stand YouTube channel that the midfielder is currently 100% focused on staying at Old Trafford.
Fans on X are glad that Fernandes is likely to remain with the Red Devils, although some still feel that the player could be tempted by a move to the Middle East:

I think he will go, not in January but in the summer.
Along with Varane and probably Casemiro

Fernandes has unfinished business at United
After winning the Carabao Cup back in February, the Portuguese international expressed his desire to win many more trophies for the club.
If Fernandes is true to his word, then it is very unlikely that he will tempted by the money on offer from Saudi Arabia, no matter how outlandish the sums being proposed.
Other players could leave for Saudi
While Fernandes is expected to remain in Manchester, it may not stop others from making the switch to the Middle Eastern country.
The likes of Anthony Martial, Casemiro, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane have all been linked with transfers in recent weeks.
In terms of who could move to Saudi Arabia in January, Sancho is seen as the likeliest candidate, but only if the winger can’t find a suitor in Europe first.
