Mohamed Salah could help Man United earn £100m as transfer decision looms
Liverpool won the Premier League title this season and they had Mohamed Salah to thank as the attacker played a monumental part.
Salah registered his best season in the Premier League yet as he scored an astonishing 29 goals, while registering 18 assists.
For most of the season, Liverpool faced uncertainty over whether Salah would remain at the club beyond the end of this campaign as his contract came to an end.
However, they were handed a huge boost as both he and Virgil van Dijk committed to new deals, and Salah’s decision could now make a huge impact at rivals Manchester United.
Al-Hilal could sign Bruno Fernandes after Salah rejection
Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal were extremely keen on Salah, but with the winger staying at Liverpool, they have now turned their attentions to Man United captain Bruno Fernandes.
While Liverpool won the league, Man United had a season to forget as they finished in 15th place and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham.
They will now be desperate for funds, and Al-Hilal could provide them as they have a strong interest in Fernandes.
A deal would reportedly cost over £100 million, and the midfielder could be offered a total package contract of £65 million per year, while United could heavily boost their finances with that transfer fee.

According to GIVEMESPORT, Salah’s decision to reject the Saudi move could help fund the deal for Fernandes, as he turned down a contract of £510 million over three years to stay at Liverpool.
These funds can now be put towards a mega-money deal for Fernandes, which would both benefit and damage Man United’s hopes for next season.
Liverpool widen gap over Man United
Man United have found themselves in a crisis, as their woeful performances on the pitch have been matched by a financial black-hole off it.
Fernandes is their captain and their best player, and losing him would be a huge blow, but after missing out on European football, they may need to accept the money for an ageing player.
Liverpool have beaten United heavily several times in recent years, and the 14-place gap is the highest it has been in Premier League history.
The Reds have also matched United for 20 top-flight titles, and while they celebrated their triumph this season, their rivals endured one of their worst campaigns in history, with things unlikely to improve much in the short term.
