Bruno Fernandes’ Man United contract situation revealed.
Manchester United are keen to bind Bruno Fernandes down to a new deal but the playmaker is staying off until the Red Devils finish their summer spending, according to Duncan Castles.
The Portuguese playmaker is widely considered to be one of Manchester United’s most influential players and he has been receiving lots of appreciation for his performances for the Red Devils since having joined the club from Sporting Lisbon back in January 2020.
The 26-year-old scored 18 goals and made 12 assists in 37 Premier League matches for Manchester United last summer as the Red Devils finished in second place in the table.
He also netted nine times in Europe for the Red Devils as they entered the Europa League final but ended up succumbing to Villarreal in the masterpiece.
Fernandes’ current deal at Old Trafford is due to lapse in the summer of 2025, but Manchester United are perceived to be keen to tie the playmaker down to a new and improved contract.
Journalist Castles has now indicated that Manchester United are contemplating to extend the playmaker’s contract, but the player himself is waiting to see what business the Red Devils conduct this summer before committing.

Speaking on The Transfer Window Podcast, Castles said: “This is something Manchester United have been trying to do for a while – extend and improve Bruno’s contract.
“The guidance I’ve had from people close to Fernandes is that they did not want to get involved in those talks. They wanted to see what Manchester United would do in the market and see if they would build a team capable of winning titles.
“If you watch Bruno and the way he plays, you listen to what he says, he is desperate to win. He wants to be in a top team. He wants to be winning more than the Europa League. He wants to be competing for the Champions League.
“The analysis from his part has been what are Manchester United going to do with the team? Is there going to be enough around him? Is there going to be a good enough coaching department so they can compete for the title and the Champions League?
“He’d like for Paul Pogba to stay at the club because he rates him as a talent. They have begun talking to Manchester United above an improved contract.”
