Manchester United accused of 'carrying' Bruno Fernandes following contract extension

Manchester United have been accused of carrying Bruno Fernandes after the Portuguese midfielder signed a new contract at Old Trafford this week.

The 27-year-old signed a deal that commits him to United until at least 2026. Speaking after signing the deal, Fernandes said: "From the moment that I joined Manchester United I have had a special relationship with the club and our amazing fans. I grew up watching this team, dreaming of getting the chance to play here one day.

"That dream is now a reality and an honour." However, Martin Keown believes that Fernandes' shortcomings need to be worked on and would keep him out of a side like Manchester City.
