The BBC, a British public broadcaster, reported on the 3rd (Korea time) that Bruno Fernandes rejected Saudi club Al-Hilal's offer.
The BBC said: "'Bruno seriously considered a transfer that would more than double his salary. However, after discussions with his family, he decided not to join Al-Hilal.

Bruno recently raised the possibility of an Al Hilal transfer. Some British media outlets 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)."
The possibility of a transfer was growing. Bruno, who has been the team's ace since this season, said in a recent interview that "the team can leave if they want."," he said, expressing his intention to transfer.
For Manchester United, there was no choice but to worry. 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.

The last remaining gateway was family. Ben Jacobs, a reporter for Give Me Sports in the U.K., said 'Bruno is currently discussing a transfer with his family. Whether Bruno agrees to move to Saudi Arabia is up to his family. It means more than a football decision. Al-Hilal will wait until Friday for a final response. 'There is no official bid for United yet, but Al-Hilal believes the club will approve the sale if Bruno asks to leave.
However, Bruno discussed with his family after much consideration and seems to have decided to stay at Manchester United. If Bruno stays, Manchester United is expected to seek a rebound under Coach Hoobeng Amorim, with Bruno taking the center of the team in the next season.
