Manchester United open talks with Bruno Fernandes over new contract | OneFootball

Manchester United have opened talks with Bruno Fernandes over a new contract. 

According to the Daily Mail, preliminary discussions have taken place between United and Fernandes to tie him to a new deal. 

The 31-year-old has less than a year remaining on his current contract, although the Red Devils have the option to extend it by another year. 

He currently earns around £300,000 per week but new terms would put him on a salary of around £350,000 per week, per The Sun. 

Fernandes has been United’s best signing since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement. He has bagged 110 goals and 109 assists in 329 appearances. 

The Portuguese won the prestigious Professional Footballers’ Association Players’ Player of the Year award after an excellent 2025-26 season. 

Fernandes turned down a big-money offer from the Saudi Pro League (SPL) during this summer’s World Cup. 

The salary on offer was a whopping £640,000 per week, tax-free, but he decided to stay at United. 

Fernandes struggled to create chances in the league opener against Hull City. 

But the midfielder bounced back with a stellar display against Ipswich Town on Sunday. He scored a hat-trick to lead his team to an emphatic 5-2 success at Old Trafford.
