Bruno Fernandes has already given his honest opinion on playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo following reports linking the Manchester United captain to Al Nassr.
Ronaldo and Fernandes will likely be linking up on the pitch again this summer for Portugal at Euro 2024, with Ronaldo looking to win his second Euros 20 years after his debut in the competition.
The Portuguese pair could be set to reunite at club level after the conclusion of the tournament, with shocking reports of a potential move to Al Nassr for Fernandes.
As reported by the Daily Mirror, Ronaldo has urged Al Nassr to sign United captain Bruno Fernandes this summer.

It is believed that they are ready to pay whatever it takes, around £80m to £90m to lure the Portuguese midfielder to Saudi Arabia.
The report stated: “Ronaldo is understood to have urged his club to move for Fernandes, who held a meeting with United last week to discuss his future and the club's ambitions going forward."
Fernandes has already made his feelings very clear on playing with Ronaldo for both club and country.
Speaking back in October, Fernandes said: "Do I have the notion that I'm playing alongside a history maker? No, I don't have a notion, I have the certainty! We're all aware of it."
"We all understand the force and impact that Ronaldo has, the force and the impact that Ronaldo has had on the future of many of us Portuguese players, the opportunities that he's created for the future generations of players, the way others began to look at Portugal," he continued.
"They already had started looking at us with more respect, but everything that Ronaldo achieved meant our name was more feared, and obviously we are grateful to have lived in this era, because it was a privilege for us to watch Cristiano play and at the same time I had the chance to play alongside him," Fernandes concluded.
Fernandes, aged 29, still has two years remaining on his current contract with United.
This makes any potential transfer away from Old Trafford potentially challenging, however, Al Nassr certainly have the funds.
Despite a pretty disastrous season for Erik ten Hag and United, Fernandes has been one of the few bright sparks amid a sea of grey.
Across all competitions this season, he has made 45 appearances, scoring 15 goals and providing 11 assists.
