Bruno Fernandes Extends Manchester United Contract Until 2027

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2027, with an option for a further year.

The Portugal midfielder has scored 79 goals and provided 67 assists in his 234 appearances for the club since joining from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 for £47 million.

Fernandes, 29, expressed his passion for Manchester United and his excitement for the club’s positive future, stating, “I understand the responsibility and significance of wearing this shirt, and the levels of dedication and desire required to represent this incredible club.”

The midfielder replaced Harry Maguire as United’s club captain in July 2023, and manager Erik ten Hag has maintained faith in him despite criticism from former United captains Gary Neville and Roy Keane. Fernandes believes his “best moments in a United shirt are still to come” and highlighted special moments like hearing his name sung from the Stretford End, scoring a hat-trick against Leeds, leading the team out at Old Trafford on European nights, and lifting trophies at Wembley.

Manchester United sporting director Dan Ashworth praised Fernandes as a “brilliant leader” who helps players and staff “perform at their highest levels.” He emphasized Fernandes’ dedication to the club and his pivotal role in achieving the club’s goals.

The contract extension comes as a boost for United, as Fernandes was not considered untouchable in the summer transfer window. However, a sale was unlikely unless an offer the club found impossible to refuse materialized, which did not happen.
