Bruno Fernandes<\/a> has said that winning trophies, not money, is his motivation — and that is what he wants to do at Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Times<\/a>, the Man United captain said that players join the club because they want to win top honours and suggested that while he could make money anywhere, he joined United because of their storied history with trophies.<\/p>\n

Last summer, Fernandes said he turned down<\/a> a “very ambitious” offer from Saudi Pro League<\/a> side Al Hilal<\/a>. He said at the time that he wanted to stay at the highest level and play in “big competitions.”<\/p>\n

“Everyone who comes to Man United wants to win every trophy,” Fernandes said when asked if two cups in six years has been enough.<\/p>\n

“No one thinks in coming to the club, ‘We’re going to fight for just one or two trophies in six years,’ let’s say. You want to fight for all of them. We went to three [other] finals and didn’t win. That can happen. But at least you’ve been in the fight. We were close.<\/p>\n

“And what I said to the club every time I spoke with them, what I want from the time I’m here, I just want to compete. Because if I compete, I will be close to winning. If I don’t compete, there’s no chance I’m going to get close to any silverware.”<\/p>\n
