Fernandes was seen for the Old Trafford exit door, with the side of the Middle East prepared to accompany £ 100 million to sign it.
However, the 30-year-old ultimately decided against the move and later revealed his preference to continue to play in a top European league.

“And if people went there and looked at some games, they would soon see it.
“But yes, I know the standard. I know it is a good standard. You would never knock it if you were there. And yes, it’s hard.”
Since Toney revealed his plans to further develop his trade in the Riad outfit in the next term, he admitted that he did not take care of how this influenced the potential on his chances of making England’s squad for the 2026 World Cup.
