Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2027.
The Portugal midfielder has been an important player for the Red Devils since he joined in January 2020, scoring 79 goals in his 234 appearances.
United announced the new deal, which includes an option for another year, on Wednesday. This comes after rumors at the end of last season suggested that Fernandes might leave the club this summer.
“Everybody knows the passion I have for Manchester United,” said the 29-year-old Fernandes. “I understand the responsibility and significance of wearing this shirt, and the levels of dedication and desire required to represent this incredible club.”
“I have had so many special moments here already … But I wouldn’t have signed this contract if I didn’t believe that my best moments in a United shirt are still to come.”
Fernandes’ new contract is a boost for Erik ten Hag’s team, following the summer signings of Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui, as they aim to build on last season’s FA Cup win and improve on an eighth-place finish in the Premier League.
