What did Bruno Fernandes say about his future at Man United?
“The club wanted me to go (in the summer), I have that in my head. I told the directors this but I think they didn’t have the courage to make that decision. I decided to stay also because of family reasons, but because I genuinely like the club. The conversation with the manager also made me stay. But, from the club’s side, I felt a bit like. if you leave, it’s not so bad for us. I could have left like many people do and said. I want to leave, I don’t want to train, I just want to leave for €20m or €30m, so they pay me more on the other side. But I never did that. I never felt in a position to do that, because I felt that the empathy and affection I had for the club were the same.”
