The club’s current uncompromising position represents a significant shift from the internal dynamics of twelve months ago. Last summer, United officials informed Fernandes that it was essentially his call whether to accept a mammoth offer put to him by Saudi Pro-League outfit Al-Hilal. This previous approach did not sit well with the player, as the Portuguese later admitted he felt “hurt” by that stance. The midfielder felt that the club\u2019s willingness to let him choose indicated they did not view him as indispensable at that specific moment in time.<\/p>\n
Determined not to repeat that mistake, the new hierarchy at United has made their position entirely clear this time around. While club sources confirm there have been no formal bids for the 31-year-old yet, they have been proactive in briefing that he is not for sale at any price. This proactive communication serves to reassure both the player and the fanbase of his value to the organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The club’s current uncompromising position represents a significant shift from the internal dynamics of twelve months ago.
