The Manchester United maestro was the subject of a stunning £200million proposal from Al-Hilal earlier this summer .

Fernandes, 30, ultimately turned down the mega offer, with the midfielder keen to stay in the Premier League.

But, according to Portuguese publication A Bola , Ronaldo's Al-Nassr are now considering tabling a bid for Fernandes.

Ronaldo, 41, himself recently signed a record-breaking £492million extension , after flirting with an exit this summer.

Fernandes would join Ronaldo , Otavio and more recently Joao Felix in Riyadh if a deal was complete.

But despite reports, it seems unlikely that captain Fernandes would U-turn on his decision to stay at Old Trafford .

Announcing his decision to stay in Manchester in June, Fernandes said in a statement: 'It would have been an easy move.

"I had Ruben Neves and Joao Cancelo there (at Al-Hilal), two people I have a great friendship with.

"But I want to stay at the highest level, play in big competitions , because I still feel capable.

"There was an opportunity. The president called me and asked if I wanted to go there. They were waiting for me.

"I spoke to Ruben Amorim and he asked me not to go. Manchester United didn't want to sell me. They don't need the money .

"If I had wanted to leave, they would have made it happen."

Not that he needed to, but Fernandes again showed his worth while scoring United's two first goals of pre-season against West Ham .

Amorim needs him next season if the club are in with a chance of over-turning their dismal year last season, when they finished 15th in the Prem and lost the Europa League final to Spurs.

United have so far strengthened this summer with Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha joining for £133million combined.

United are reportedly working on a deal to battle Newcastle for RB Leipzig frontman Benjamin Sesko.

Toon tabled their first Sesko bid on Saturday.
