Even Manchester United's core resources are on the verge of leaving the team.
Britain's Daily Mail reported on the 24th (Korea time) that Bruno Fernandes has set a deadline to decide whether to leave Manchester United and sign a contract worth 200 million pounds (about 370 billion won) with Saudi Arabia.
The Daily Mail said the deadline for Bruno to decide whether to sign a £200 million deal with Al-Hilal was set for next week. The Saudi Arabian club want an answer by the end of May and are looking forward to convincing Bruno to leave Manchester United. If Bruno accepts a three-year contract, which includes an annual salary of 65 million pounds (about 120 billion won) per season, Al Hilal is ready to offer Manchester United a transfer fee of 100 million pounds (about 180 billion won)."
According to the news, Manchester United reiterated that they did not want to sell Bruno, but they are under financial pressure due to the defeat in the Europa League final, losing about £100 million in income. Al-Hilal wants a response within three days'

Bruno, who moved to Manchester United in the winter 2020 transfer market, has been playing as the team's ace until this season, boasting his unchanged skills. Bruno, who has shown better-than-expected performance while playing various positions from attacking midfielders to central midfielders and wingers, is considered an irreplaceable resource. Bruno's position was not shaken at all even though the manager changed while Manchester United was going through a difficult time, and this season, he was reborn as the center of Manchester United in name and reality by taking the captain's position.
Even this season, when Manchester United is suffering from severe sluggishness, Bruno is still performing well. He played in 52 official games this season, scoring 19 goals and 17 assists, ranking No. 1 in attack points in his team. The journey to make a name in Manchester United's history is also smooth with 98 goals and 84 assists in 277 Manchester United games. But the temptation to shake Bruno and Manchester United's company began to reach out. Saudi temptation is preparing to hit Bruno.

Initially, Manchester United were in a firm position. He showed an attitude that he could not sell Bruno, the key and captain. However, the result of the Europa League final changed the situation. Manchester United failed to advance to the European Champions League (UCL) after losing to Tottenham, which faced financial problems next season. In order to strengthen the team, the sale must precede, and in this situation, enormous transfer revenue through Bruno is inevitably an attractive option.
Bruno also expressed his position not to insist on staying at Manchester United. Bruno said in an interview after the Europa League final defeat that "transfer is inevitable if you think the club has to leave the team to make money or for some other reason. Football is sometimes like this."If you have to break up for Manchester United, you have to. No one knows when or what will happen. It has always been said, and it will be so in the future."
Whether Manchester United and Bruno's companion will continue until the next season is expected to be determined by Manchester United and the player's decision within 72 hours on Saudi Arabia's proposal.
