Fernandes Says He Stayed at Man U After the Club Promised Him a Key Role

Manchester United captain, Bruno Fernandes, has opened up about why he turned down offers to leave Old Trafford last summer.
The Portuguese midfielder confirmed that he received offers from other clubs but chose to have a conversation with the club’s management and former manager Erik ten Hag before making a decision. He wanted to know if the club still saw him as part of their long-term plans.
According to Fernandes, the club assured him that he would play a key role in their rebuilding process. Feeling valued and confident in the project, he decided to stay at Old Trafford.
Speaking after United’s 4-1 win over Real Sociedad in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16, Fernandes said, “I had an offer to leave, so I sat down with the club to discuss my future. I asked if they still considered me part of their plans. Both the club and Ten Hag made it clear that they saw me as an important part of the rebuild, and I believed we could achieve success together.”
Fernandes has been a driving force for Manchester United this season. His performance against Real Sociedad on Thursday, March 13, was outstanding. He scored a hat-trick, helping United secure a 5-2 aggregate win and advance to the Europa League quarterfinals.

Rooney Tells Rashford to Play for Man U the Same Way He Played for Aston Villa Against PSG

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has heaped praise on Marcus Rashford following his standout performance for Aston Villa in their dramatic Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
Rashford, currently on loan from United, played a key role as Villa overturned a two-goal deficit to beat PSG 3-2 at Villa Park on Tuesday night. Despite the win, the Premier League side fell short of a semi-final spot, having lost the first leg 3-1 in Paris, which saw the French giants progress on a 5-4 aggregate.
Rooney, speaking after the game, was full of admiration for Rashford’s display. He described the England international as electric on the night and urged him to bring that same energy back to Old Trafford when his loan spell ends.
“Villa came alive, PSG looked shaken, and Rashford was at the heart of it,” Rooney said. “That was the Rashford we all know—taking players on, showing his skills, creating chances.”
He highlighted Rashford’s awareness and creativity during the match, particularly in setting up key moments that sparked belief among the Villa squad and fans.
Rooney wrapped up his comments by expressing hope that Rashford can rediscover that same form in a United shirt, saying, “If he plays like this at Old Trafford, he’ll be unstoppable.”

Julio Baptista Says Cristiano Ronaldo is the Greatest of All Time, Ahead of Messi

Former Arsenal forward Julio Baptista has declared Cristiano Ronaldo as the greatest footballer of all time, placing him ahead of Lionel Messi.
Baptista, who has played alongside top-tier talent, argues that Ronaldo’s career has been more challenging and impressive, making him the rightful GOAT. He believes Ronaldo’s success across multiple leagues and teams sets him apart.
Speaking to FootballItalia, Baptista shared his thoughts, saying, “If I had to choose, I’d consider the fact that Ronaldo’s journey was harder. He was named the world’s best at Manchester United and won the Champions League there, which was no easy feat.”

With Messi at Inter Miami scoring 8 goals and 3 assists in 10 games this season, and Ronaldo netting 32 goals with 4 assists in 35 appearances, Baptista’s admiration for Ronaldo’s diverse career is clear. He believes it’s time for the world to recognize Ronaldo as the true GOAT.
