From the source

Manchester United have many problems, but one of them has at least been parked for now. According to TALKSPORT, Bruno Fernandes will not be getting an exit route to Al-Hilal, despite fresh noise around his future and growing uncertainty over his contract situation at Old Trafford.

This matters because Fernandes is 32, in the final year of his deal, and there is no obvious clarity over what comes next. Talks over an extension are said to have stalled, even though United hold an option that could keep him until the summer of 2028.

That gives the club leverage on paper. In reality, leverage only helps if there is a plan. Al-Hilal were close to signing Fernandes before he chose to remain at Manchester United.
