He refused to play according to wiki

Manchester United quickly emerged as the front runners for his signature, and Bruce publicly expressed his desire to sign for the club.[37] The deal came close to collapsing when Norwich asked for a transfer fee of ?900,000 after initially agreeing to accept ?800,000,[38] leading to Bruce refusing to play any further matches for the club, which he felt was jeopardising his dream move.[39] On 17 December 1987, however, shortly before his 27th birthday, the deal was finally concluded and Bruce officially left Carrow Road,[38][40] for a fee reported as ?800,000[21] or ?825,000.[7]
