According to a new report from the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United Football Club is actively discussing a contract extension with Portuguese international Bruno Fernandes and plans to reflect his status as one of the most important players in the team in the new contract. This move will undoubtedly recognize and reward Fernandes for his outstanding contribution to the team over the past few seasons.
It has been reported that although Fernandez's current contract is set to expire in 2026, United are looking to further cement his future by offering him a new contract. Notably, while the new contract is only a one-year extension, it contains terms and conditions that will fully reflect Fernandes' core value and influence in the team. This decision not only reflects United's trust in Fernandes' individual abilities, but also demonstrates the club's focus on long-term planning and stability.
This past season, Fernandez excelled in all competitions for Manchester United, making 48 appearances, scoring 15 goals and dishing out 13 assists. His all-round ability and excellent play in key moments won the team many crucial matches and won him wide praise from fans and teammates.
While Munt, who joined United last summer, may have been more expensive in terms of transfer fee, he was nowhere near as good as Fernandez on the pitch. This comparison further emphasizes the value and importance of Fernandez in the team.
Additionally, the Manchester Evening News revealed the intriguing news that Fernandes is expected to be the highest paid player in the United squad following his contract extension. Previously, Rashford and Casemiro were the only two players in the team earning more than £300,000 a week, but both of their salaries were slashed to varying degrees due to United's failure to qualify for the new Champions League season. In contrast, Fernandez's new contract will undoubtedly bring him a more lucrative financial reward, which is a testament to his hard work and outstanding contribution over the past few years.
