Bruno Fernandes set to double Man Utd salary but remain way behind club's top earners

Bruno Fernandes is set to sign a new five-year contract with Manchester United.

The playmaker is expected to double his salary to around £240,000-a-week with the new deal, which will keep him at United until 2027. That will put Portugal star Fernandes among United's higher earners, although still some way behind David de Gea, who earns £375,000-a-week, and Cristiano Ronaldo, on £450,000-a-week.

Talks between United and representatives of Fernandes have been going on for the past year, but after a breakthrough within the past week, both parties are set to commit to a new agreement. Fernandes, 27, joined United from Sporting Lisbon for £47million in January 2020 on a five-and-a-half year deal worth £100,000-a-week and quickly established himself as one of the club's key players.
