“HERE WE GO: Manchester United has finally completed the signing of the £70m star. An agreement was finally reached after secret links with Bayern, and a club announcement is expected to be made today.”
After securing the future of manager Erik ten Hag, Manchester United are now focusing on retaining their captain, Bruno Fernandes.
Earlier this month, reports from The Guardian suggested that the Portuguese international might be sold for £70 million due to his demands for a significant salary increase at Old Trafford.
However, Manchester United are now prepared to enter negotiations to offer Fernandes a new contract that aligns with his expectations and ambitions, ensuring he remains with the club.
According to Football Insider, Manchester United will commence discussions to renew Fernandes’ contract after the conclusion of Euro 2024. The source indicates that the Portuguese playmaker is content at United. Manager Erik ten Hag values Fernandes highly, considering him an excellent captain, and is determined to keep him at the club now that his own position is secure.
Fernandes was Manchester United’s standout performer last season, and after a disappointing campaign, the club cannot afford to lose their most crucial player.
Throughout all competitions, the 29-year-old attacking midfielder netted 15 goals and provided 13 assists for the historic English club.
His outstanding performances earned him the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award for the third time, a distinction surpassed only by Cristiano Ronaldo and David De Gea.
As a vital member of the Portugal national team, Fernandes is expected to play a significant role for the 2016 European champions in their upcoming match against Czechia.
Do you think Manchester United should offer Bruno Fernandes a lucrative new contract?
