Manchester United have announced the extension of midfielder, Bruno Fernandes’ contract by four years.

The Portuguese sensation who joined the Red Devils in January 2020 will now remain at Old Trafford until June 2026, with the option to extend for a further year.

Fernandes will now earn around £250,000 weekly thanks to the new deal which will see him ranked amongst the top-earning players at Man United.

The Portugal international has contributed 49 goals and 39 assists in just 117 games for United.

Fernandes’ new contract comes days after he helped Portugal book a place in Qatar 2022 by netting twice in the 2-0 World Cup qualifier play-off final against North Macedonia.

Bruno Fernandes said: “From the moment that I joined Manchester United, I have had a special relationship with the club and our amazing fans. I grew up watching this team, dreaming of getting the chance to play here one day.

“That dream is now a reality and an honour.

“Even after two years, it still feels amazing to step out at Old Trafford, to hear the fans sing my song and to score in front of the Stretford End. It is a true privilege to wear this shirt and to fight for our incredible club.

“There is so much more that I want to achieve here, and I know that is the same for the rest of the squad and staff. More than anything, we want to give the fans the success that they deserve.

“We have shared some great moments over the last years, but the best is yet to come from myself and this team.”
