Like Mohamed Salah, Bruno Fernandes has made the mistake of believing that this sport is about the individual rather than the team.
In a candid interview with Canal 11, a media outlet owned by the Portuguese Football Federation, Fernandes said he was "hurt" by Manchester United's readiness to offload him during the summer. At the end of last season, Saudi Pro League team Al Hilal were prepared to pay a £100 million transfer fee and wages approaching £750,000 a week to take him to Riyadh.
United, as reported by ESPN at the time, left the decision with Fernandes.
