Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal have offered Bruno Fernandes a contract to sign for them.
The club have a massive financial war chest at their disposal ahead of the window reopening.
However, talkSPORT understands that Manchester United insist Fernandes is not for sale.
Despite that, Al Hilal have offered the midfielder a three-year deal with the club.
It’s understood Al Hilal could place a British record bid in an attempt to prise Fernandes away from Old Trafford – Moises Caicedo’s £115m move from Brighton to Chelsea is the current record.
However, Al Hilal are also hopeful they could land the 30-year-old for as little as £60m.
It comes after they previously missed out on signing Mohamed Salah from Liverpool.
The Egyptian penned a new two-year contract extension in April to keep him at Anfield until 2027.
Al Hilal are understood to have at least £510million put aside to spend on a marquee signing this summer as a result.
The club had previously offered the amount to Salah in wages on a three-year deal worth £170million-a-season.
Fernandes is also under contract at United until 2027, whilst the club hold an option to extend it by a further year.
It follows the 30-year-old’s decision to sign a new deal at Old Trafford last summer.

The Portuguese is the current Red Devils skipper as well as their top scorer this season.
Since joining the club in 2020, Fernandes has scored 98 goals and added 85 assists in 285 appearances for the Red Devils.
Of those goal contributions, 37 have been this season as the former Sporting Lisbon man has shone in an otherwise underwhelming campaign for Ruben Amorim’s side.
As for Al Hilal, the Riyadh-based club won a record-extending 19th league title last season.
However, their title defence has not gone as planned with the season almost over.
With five matches remaining in the Saudi Pro League, they sit second in the table and six points adrift of leaders Al Ittihad.
Meanwhile, the club have parted company with manager Jorge Jesus to leave them without a permanent boss.
His departure came following their semi-final exit in the AFC Champions League Elite.
A long-term successor has yet to be confirmed by the club since Jesus’ exit.
Premier League bosses Marco Silva and Nuno Espirito Santo are both in their sights, though.
