Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has confirmed he has turned down a money-spinning move to Saudi Arabia because he wants to “stay at the highest level”.

The 30-year-old midfielder has been the subject of speculation linking him with a £100million switch to Al Hilal, with the Saudi Pro League side reportedly prepared to pay him £700,000 per week.
