Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has come out to say that he sent club captain Bruno Fernandes a text after he snubbed a massive offer from Saudi Arabia. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he would not have turned down the life-changing money if he were in Bruno‘s position, and that is him being completely honest.
Ferdinand added that rejecting such an offer to stay at a struggling club like MUFC proves that the team captain loves the club dearly.
His words, “Listen, I’ve got to be honest with you. I don’t know if I could have said no. He’s 30 years old, at a club that struggling.
Bruno’s staying, our most potent goalscorer, our biggest provider, our biggest chance maker, he does a lot and our captain. I couldn’t have woken up this morning happier, and I did message him. I won’t go into the details of that, but what a man.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
