Bruno Fernandes: Roy Keane Twisted My Words. They Offered Me £200M, I Said No.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes reveals what happened the night his agent called with the news that United wanted him, how the club is rebuilding its winning culture, what great management and leadership actually looks like, and what really happened with the Roy Keane criticism. Bruno Fernandes is the captain of Manchester United and one of the most driven midfielders of his generation. Since joining in 2020, he has scored 108 goals in 328 appearances, won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award a record 5 times, and equalled the Premier League's all-time single-season assist record with 20 assists this season.
