As Liverpool supporters anxiously wait to hear if their most-prized stars will extend their contracts at Anfield, Manchester United fans have no such fears. Not put off by the Red Devils’ recent failings, Bruno Fernandes committed his future to the club until 2026, with the option of a further year, when signing fresh terms last week.
The Portuguese’s new contract is only for an additional year compared to his initial deal when signing from Sporting Lisbon. However, rewarded for his performances since moving to Old Trafford in January 2020, his new deal will see him reportedly double his wage at the club.
According to The Athletic , the 27-year-old will now pocket around £240k a week and will stand as one of United’s highest earners behind Cristiano Ronaldo (£480k a week) and David De Gea (£375k a week). Meanwhile, they claim Paul Pogba, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho, Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford are all believed to receive £200k a week or more, with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw also close to that figure.
