Bruno Fernandes signs new contract with Manchester United and earns a spot as one of United’s top earners

Manchester united has announced a new contract signed by Bruno Fernandes to keep him in the club until June 2026 with the option to extend for a further year.

Bruno has been a star performer since he was signed from Sporting Lisbon under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a lengthy transfer pursuit back in January 2020. He helped lead the club back into the Premier League top four last season with 28 goals in 58 games across all competitions.

The Portugal international, who has already won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award twice, has created more chances than any other United player since joining the club in January 2020.

The midfielder scored two goals for Portugal this week on his 42nd international appearance, against North Macedonia, as he helped to seal his country’s place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Bruno 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.

“Even after two years, it still feels amazing to step out at Old Trafford, to hear the fans sing my song and to score in front of the Stretford End. It is a true privilege to wear this shirt and to fight for our incredible club.

“There is so much more that I want to achieve here, and I know that is the same for the rest of the squad and staff. More than anything, we want to give the fans the success that they deserve.

“We have shared some great moments over the last years, but the best is yet to come from myself and this team.”

Fernandes’ new terms will see him earn around £250,000 a week and will run until June 2026, with an option for a further year. The contract  places him amongst United’s top three earners.
