Bruno Fernandes set to sign new 5 year contract extension

Bruno Fernandes is on the verge of signing a new five-year deal with Manchester United on hugely-improved terms which will reward the players loyalty and performances for the club.

Only a few months after joining from Sporting in January 2020 and proving to be a transformative figure under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the club had already begun the process of drafting a contract for Bruno Fernandes that better reflected his influence at Old Trafford. Negotiations between Fernandes’ representatives and United were halted at the turn of the year, but resumed with a breakthrough.

The Portuguese international, who is currently involved in his country’s World Cup play-offs, is reportedly expected to double his wages at the club, shifting to £240,000 a week.

The initial contract Fernandes signed when he left Sporting was for five-and-a-half years with the option of an additional year, so the goal is to financially reward him rather than be concerned about his length of time.

The news of the impending agreement on an improved contract broke in Fernandes’ home country, where it was interpreted as a show of faith from the player in United despite uncertainty over the next permanent manager and the futures of several senior members of the squad.

The 27-year-old was the club’s standout player during his first 18 months at the Theatre of Dreams, but his form has significantly dipped this season along with the club’s silverware ambitions this season.
