Bruno Fernandes would have more than doubled his salary if he had joined Saudi club Al-Hilal in the summer

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes says it "hurt" to realise the club "wanted me to leave" when Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal proposed a huge offer in the summer.

The Portugal international, 31, rejected the move to the Saudi Pro League in order to stay at Old Trafford, despite Al-Hilal reportedly being open to paying a fee of about £100m and wages of up to £700,000 a week.

Fernandes has a contract that runs to 2027, with the option of an additional year.

He said in October, before his 300th United appearance, that he will not discuss his future with anyone until after next year's World Cup.
