Manchester United fans will be fearing the worst after Bruno Fernandes was spotted enjoying his dinner with Portuguese teammate Joao Cancelo.
Following a disappointing 2024/25 season, Manchester United is seeking a major overhaul, and Fernandes has been linked with a move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.

Fernandes was outstanding last season, recording 19 goals and 20 assists across all competitions.
The Sausi Pro League side are desperate to sign the 31-year-old so he can play at the Club World Cup, but he is one player Ruben Amorim cannot afford to lose.
It has been reported that the Saudi club are ready to offer a fee of around £100 million to sign Fernandes.
Now, the Red Devil midfielder met with Al-Hilal’s former Manchester City full-back, Joao Cancelo.
A clip has been circulating on social media, showing Fernandes enjoying dinner with several Portuguese teammates, including Cancelo, which fuels doubts that a deal could be sorted within days.
Cancelo was 31 last Tuesday, and Fernandes was present to celebrate his birthday.
Fernandes recently posted a cryptic message on his Instagram story.
Its English translation was: “If you tried and failed, congratulations! There are people who don’t even try.”
Many believe that Cancelo is acting as a secret agent and he could be trying to lure the United hero into moving to Saudi Arabia.
