Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has spoken about his future. He explained why he stayed at Old Trafford last summer. He rejected a move to Saudi Arabia.
The 31-year-old gave an interview to Gary Neville. Neville is a former United player and now works as a TV expert.
Fernandes said success at United means more to him than at other clubs. He could have left two years ago. He could also have left last season. But he chose to stay.
“It is not about loyalty,” Fernandes said. “I really enjoy being here. I believe winning trophies here would feel different. I would not get this feeling at any other club in the world.”
United had a bad season last year. They finished 15th in the Premier League. This was their lowest position ever. They also lost the Europa League final. Because of this, they will not play in Europe this season.
Fernandes has won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup with United. But he wants bigger trophies. He wants to win the Premier League and the Champions League.
“I have not achieved my dreams here yet,” he said. “It will be difficult. Other clubs have been winning for many years. But I will keep trying until my contract ends.”
The Portuguese star also spoke about the fans. He said he knows how much they want success. He wants to help the club move forward.
United will play against Liverpool on Sunday. The match starts at 3:30 PM.
