Man United given breathing space as Bruno Fernandes suitor walks away

Manchester United have received a welcome boost over Bruno Fernandes’ future, with Al-Hilal no longer planning to revive their pursuit of the club captain during the January transfer window. The Saudi Pro League giants pushed hard to sign Fernandes previously and were prepared to pay around £100million, but the situation has now changed. For United, that removes one of the clubs most capable of financing a huge deal, although Fernandes’ unresolved contract situation still leaves plenty of uncertainty beyond January.
