00:00Bruno Fernandes has rejected the opportunity to join Al-Halal in the summer transfer window

00:06after their lucrative offer for the Manchester United captain.

00:10Bruno Fernandes was offered the opportunity to triple his annual earnings in Saudi Arabia

00:16while United would have earned a fee in the region of £100 million for his signature

00:20but it's understood that the Portuguese playmaker wants to remain at Old Trafford.

00:25He wants to be part of their rebuild under Ruben Amarim and bring the glory days back to Old Trafford.

00:30Fernandes was never going to make a decision based just on the finances, on the money.

00:34He already earns a lot at Manchester United anyway

00:37but he wanted to make a decision that was best for his family.

00:40Fernandes has opted to remain in Manchester

00:43and like we said he will lead United for the coming season,

00:48hopefully for the coming years as well

00:49and he is very determined as ever to be part of something good again at Old Trafford.

00:54Of course after their worst ever Premier League finish

00:56and the fact that United missed out on Champions League qualification

00:59it's understood that the Portuguese playmaker did give serious consideration to a possible summer exit

01:05but he has now decided that he will remain in Manchester

01:08for the benefit of himself and the benefit of his family who are already settled in the area.

01:13In terms of United then, well it's only good news for Ruben Amarim.

01:16He's kept his captain and it means United can go into the summer

01:20with a clearer sort of sales pitch to those new arrivals.

01:23Of course Mateus Cunha, a deal has already been agreed for the Wolves playmaker

01:26and Manchester United are also interested in a move for Brian Mbwemo of Brentford.

01:31It's understood that the Brentford playmaker has decided he would prefer to join United

01:36over the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle this summer

01:40and United are still interested in a move for Mbwemo regardless of what was going to happen with Bruno Fernandes.

01:45So next season it could be Fernandes, Cunha and Mbwemo in United shirts.

01:50Ruben Amarim wants to improve the attacking quality of his side.

01:54He'd like to have players who have proven in the Premier League.

01:56He wants to improve the athleticism and overall fitness of his first team squad.

02:01Mbwemo will be one of those players alongside Cunha who has already done it in the English top flight

02:05and who can go on to even better things at Manchester United.

02:09Also a very good fit for the tactical system that Amarim's wanting to implement.

02:14I know there's lots of criticism for maybe how stubborn he was in his first months in charge at United

02:19that he didn't want to alter his style of play.

02:21That could come to fruition next season with United having a clearer identity,

02:26fewer matches to play and hopefully better results on the pitch.

02:29Not that he can get much worse results than they've had over the last few months anyway.

02:34So the headline news is Bruno Fernandes wants to stay at Manchester United.

02:38Brian Mbwemo wants to join him as well.

02:41It's going to be a very exciting few months at Manchester United.

02:44It's evidence that even in their darkest days on the pitch,

02:47they are still in an enormous pull and attraction for so many players.

02:51And Ruben Amarim, love him or hate him,

02:54he's got a vision that lots of players can buy into.

02:56So watch his space.

02:58Fernandes set to stay and Mbwemo hopes to join him at Old Trafford.
