Lisbon, Nov 18 (EFE).- Portuguese Bruno Fernandes assured on Saturday that he is “happy” at Manchester United, despite the bad times he is having at Old Trafford, and is not ruling out a possible move to Saudi football. Arabia.
“My focus is completely on the national team and Manchester United, I am happy where I am, regardless of the moments where I am,” Fernandes said in the press conference before the clash between Portugal and Iceland held in Ciudad. del Football from Oeiras, outside Lisbon.
The 29-year-old midfielder said “being coveted is always good, regardless of the league or the club,” but played down “market rumours” pointing him towards Saudi clubs, where many of his compatriots are playing, including Cristiano. Ronaldo and Ruben Neves.
“I don’t pay much attention to market rumors, they are things I have never wanted. Until I have something concrete, I don’t care about what I see. Nowadays it is very easy for market rumors to reach the press. I prefer to focus on my goals,” he said.
For Portugal, Bruno Fernandes was indispensable, contributing five goals and eight assists in what is shaping up to be the best qualifying campaign in Portuguese team history.
However, the opposite is happening in the north of England, where a shadow of instability hangs over the “Red Devils” of Dutch coach Erik Ten Hag after successive failures in the Premier League and Champions League .
“In the national team we had a very good time, in Manchester United we didn’t start as we wanted,” admitted the captain of the Mancunians, “but I’m not thinking about the long term.”
Regarding Portugal’s historic classification, Bruno Fernandes was “satisfied with the results” and attributed their good numbers to “players up front with a lot of quality”, which “makes the job easier”.
But the Portuguese want “always more and better”: “I’m not totally satisfied, I could have done more and help at other times. But I think that’s the good thing about the national team, that we always want more and better. That will lead us to more success and great goals.”
Portugal, coached by Spaniard Roberto Martínez, has already secured qualification for the Euro 2024 Championship in Germany and first place in Group J, and will close this cycle on Sunday with a match against Iceland at the Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon . EFE
