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.

He explains: ◼ How his father's parenting style shaped him into the player and person he is today ◼ How growing up playing against boys five years older than him made him fearless ◼ What he said to Harry Maguire the moment he was handed the captain's armband ◼ Why taking risks is one of the most important things he does on a pitch ◼ Why he turned down a reported £200 million offer to leave Manchester United
