From his wife’s words to Cristiano Ronaldo’s advice: Why did fee B reject the sky-high offer and stick to Manchester United?

In the torrent of money, there are still people who choose faith.

When the Saudi giant Riyadh Crescent made a transfer offer of up to 100 million pounds, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez chose to refuse. He did not follow Ronaldo's footsteps and go to the Middle East, but stayed at Old Trafford and insisted on chasing an unfulfilled dream - winning the Premier League and Champions League championships for Manchester United.

This is not only the story of a transaction, but also a declaration of faith, responsibility and dreams.

Rejecting "money that changes his destiny": B Fee stayed at the Red Devils just to realize his dream

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez revealed in an interview that the Saudi giant Riyadh Crescent made him an offer of up to 100 million pounds this summer. This is enough to "change destiny" for any player, but the 31-year-old Fernandez chose to refuse.

"I always feel that I am very good here," B Fee said. "I have not yet realized my dreams - the Premier League championship and the Champions League championship. I will continue to fight for it."

He said that this offer made him shaken, and he also sought advice from his old Saudi teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. Manchester United was on their Asian tour at the time, and Fee personally informed club CEO Omar Berada of the offer.

Although the contract does not expire until 2027 (with a one-year extension option), Riyadh Crescent and even other European clubs have expressed strong interest. Manchester United also regards "winning the 21st top league championship before 2028" as the club's goal.

❤️ His wife’s words made him refuse the temptation of money

Fernandez revealed that he first told his wife Ana about the offer.

"I said to her: 'We have an offer from Saudi Arabia.'" She only asked one question: "Have you achieved everything you wanted at Manchester United?"

This sentence made B Fei deep in thought. "She knew I didn't have it. She wasn't sure if I could achieve it, but if I didn't try, it would definitely be impossible."

Dialogue with the club's senior management: respect and candor

B Fei said that he took the initiative to find CEO Berada to communicate: "I told He, that's the offer that's on the table. I know the club may have different views and I just want to hear your opinion."

Both Berarda and director of football Jason Wilcox responded with respect - they wouldn't hold the player back, but wanted him to stay. "They said, this is indeed a huge offer, we will not say 'no', but we want you to stay. You are the core of the team."

At the same time, coach Ruben Amorim also expressed his position: "We hope to have more players to help you become stronger instead of losing you."

"My goal Target: Premier League and Champions League champions"

Fernandez reiterated his belief: "My goal here is to win the Premier League and Champions League. I don't know if it can be achieved, but if I don't try, it will never be achieved."

He admitted that Riyadh Crescent was "not happy" about his rejection. He also spoke about the decision with Jorge Jesus, who worked with Sporting CP and now coaches Ronaldo's Victory in Riyadh.

C Ronaldo's advice: "I listened, but the decision is mine."

Speaking of the conversation with Ronaldo, B Fei spoke softly but firmly: "I talked with Cristiano about this matter. He gave me some opinions. After all, his experience is very valuable. But the final decision can only be made by me and the club."

⚽ 300 games, 100 goals, 87 assists: He is Manchester United's most successful signing

Before ushering in his 300th game for Manchester United against Brighton, B Fee reviewed his 6 years at Manchester United. Since joining for £67.7 million in January 2020, he has scored 100 goals and provided 87 assists.

"Interestingly, my favorite moment was actually my debut - the 0-0 draw with Wolves. Maybe that was my starting point in the Premier League, symbolizing the beginning of everything."

Fernandez won the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024. He said: "The Carabao Cup is special because it was my first championship. But the FA Cup is more important - not only because the opponent is Manchester City, but also because it has special meaning to English fans, clubs, and the entire country."

New summer signings: Manchester United needs "people with character"

This summer, Manchester United invested 225 million pounds to sign Mateusz Cunha, Brian Mbeumo, Benjamin Cesco and Thane Ramens. B Fei believes that these people are not only good at technology, but more importantly, they have personality.

"At Manchester United, just playing football is not enough. You have to withstand huge pressure and have character." He especially praised Cunha's "confidence and arrogance": "He dares to ask for the ball, dares to take risks, and dares to break through - this is the Cunha we need."

Regarding Mbeumo, B Fei also said with a smile: "I am always there In training, we urged him not to stop the ball. He could shoot at Brentford, so he should do the same for us now!"

Interaction with Sir Ratcliffe: Humor and Respect

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new shareholder of Manchester United and the richest man in the UK, once ridiculed B Fee's "flopping" behavior in a book. Ratcliffe wrote: "Seeing the Cook Islands rugby players still persisting in playing after breaking their legs, it reminds me of the scene when B Fee fell to the ground and covered his face in the first game in Liverpool - it is simply a world of difference."

B Fee responded with a smile: "I haven't told him to 'go away' (laughs), but we will talk a few words every time we meet. He will not interfere with the technical affairs of the team. We have a good relationship and respect each other very much.". "

Epilogue: An unyielding Red Devil

When the temptation of money is enough to shake people's beliefs, Bruno Fernandez's choice is particularly precious. Instead of chasing Jinshan, he chose to stay and use his sweat to fulfill the oath: "I came to Manchester United not to make money, but to win the championship." "
