Manchester United will do everything to keep Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford  | OneFootball

Manchester United have informed Bruno Fernandes that they will do everything to keep him at Old Trafford this summer, per the Daily Mail. 

The 31-year-old is contracted with the Red Devils until 2027, with the club having an option to extend it by another year. 

INEOS were open to selling the experienced midfielder last summer when they received a £100 million offer from the Saudi Pro League.

However, he rejected the approach and opted to stay at Old Trafford. In a Portuguese television interview in December, Fernandes admitted he was ‘hurt’ and ‘sad’ that United were willing to sell him. 

However, United have changed their stance and are planning to do everything to extend his stay in Manchester. 

United must keep Fernandes

Former manager Ruben Amorim deployed Fernandes in a deeper midfield role, which limited his creative involvement. 

Interim boss Michael Carrick immediately restored him to his favoured role, and he has been firing on all cylinders since then. 

In his last 10 Premier League matches, Fernandes has bagged two goals and nine assists.  

His two assists against Aston Villa helped him surpass David Beckham’s record of the most Premier League assists in a single season. 

Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne currently share the all-time record with 20 assists in a single season, but Fernandes needs just five more from eight games to create history. 

The Portugal international has been a consistent performer for United over the years, recording 105 goals and 103 assists in 319 appearances.

Given his importance, it is essential that the club secures his future by offering him a new deal.
