Bruno Fernandes is closing in on a new bumper five-year contract with Manchester United.
Mirror Football understands that the Portuguese playmaker will double his salary to around £240,000-per-week, with the deal set to keep him at Old Trafford until at least 2027. The new contract will place Fernandes as the club’s third highest earner, behind only David de Gea and the Premier League ’s best paid player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is believed that talks between Fernandes’ representatives and Red Devils bosses have been ongoing for more than a year, but after making a breakthrough earlier this week, confirmation of his extension could soon be announced . The 27-year-old joined United in January 2020, moving from Sporting in a deal worth £47million - initially signing a five-and-a-half year contract.
