Cristiano Ronaldo wants Saudi club to sign this key Manchester United star

In what could be a pivotal move for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly encouraged his club to pursue Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes as their major summer acquisition.

Fernandes, whose future at Old Trafford remains uncertain, is said to be seeking a new challenge following a successful four-and-a-half-year stint with the club.

Reports from SunSport and the Mirror have indicated that the Portuguese international could be considering reuniting with former teammate Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

Fernandes, who has captained United and been a standout performer, is at the center of significant transfer speculation, with Al-Nassr prepared to make a substantial offer to secure his services.

Despite the allure of playing alongside Ronaldo again, attracting Fernandes to the Saudi Pro League may pose challenges. However, Al-Nassr appears determined, ready to “do whatever it takes” to bring the 29-year-old to Riyadh. This determination is mirrored in their readiness to test Manchester United’s resolve with a lucrative proposal.

Adding complexity to Al-Nassr’s pursuit are reports of interest from European giants like Bayern Munich, who are also keen on adding Fernandes to their squad. This interest from a top European club could influence Fernandes’ decision, as he weighs his options for the next stage of his career.

Bruno Fernandes has been an instrumental figure for Manchester United, scoring 79 goals and providing 64 assists in 230 appearances, and leading as the club’s top scorer this season with 15 goals.
