Bruno Fernandes has been given just 72 hours to decide if he has a future at Manchester United following a "take it or leave it" offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
The Riyadh outfit are willing to quadruple the Portuguese midfielder's wages, offering him a tax-free package worth £700,000 per week.
The contract would total £200million over a three-year deal. Fernandes's representatives have been in negotiations with Al Hilal, but the Saudi Pro League club have now tabled their final offer.
It has been suggested that Al Hilal will test the waters with a bid in the region of £100million if Fernandes agrees personal terms. The midfielder's future remains uncertain following one of Manchester United's worst ever seasons.
