Big wages may have convinced Bruno Fernandes to stay at Man Utd | OneFootball

Bruno Fernandes is very close to extending his ties with Manchester United. The Portuguese international midfielder has reportedly reached an understanding with the English club’s hierarchy to sign a long-term contract and become the highest-paid player in the squad.

According to the British newspaper Mirror, a few details still need to be finalized, but there is confidence that the renewal will be made official before the end of July. His current deal runs until June 2027 and includes an option to extend it for another season under the same terms.

The proposal on the table includes a weekly salary of around £400,000, approximately €468,500. The former Sporting player currently earns £300,000 a week, so the new deal would represent a significant pay rise.

He has reportedly already given Manchester United’s board his word that he wants to stay at Old Trafford, despite offers and approaches from Saudi Arabia. The midfielder believes the club has once again put itself in a position to compete for trophies and return to Europe’s biggest stage.

Michael Carrick’s continued stay in charge is said to have been decisive in the Portuguese player’s decision. The coach managed to rebuild the team after Ruben Amorim’s departure, securing qualification for the Champions League and establishing a good relationship with the captain.
