Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has revealed he spoke to Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer as he weighed up a mega-money move to Saudi Arabia.

In an extended interview with journalists ahead of his 300th appearance for United against Brighton on Saturday - live on Sky Sports - Fernandes explains that he always wanted to stay at Old Trafford amid the £100m on offer from Al Hilal.

The Portugal midfielder, who has two years left on his United contract, also insisted that he knows nothing of an agreement for him to move to Saudi next summer and says talks with his agent are on hold until after the World Cup.

Fernandes is focused on bringing major silverware to Old Trafford to add to his Carabao Cup and FA Cup successes - and says he still hopes to win the Premier League and Champions League at United as he prepares to celebrate a huge landmark with the club.

In this extended interview, the 31-year-old also talks about:

• What Cristiano Ronaldo told him to do over Saudi move
• Decisive talks with Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada in Malaysia
• Competition with Kobbie Mainoo
