Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is poised to extend his stay with the club, potentially becoming the highest-paid player in the squad. The 31-year-old Portugal international is currently in the final year of his contract, with the club holding an option to prolong the agreement by an additional season. Negotiations between Fernandes’s representatives and Manchester United officials are underway, focusing on an improved contract reportedly worth around £400,000 per week.
Fernandes, who joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in 2020 for a transfer fee of £47 million, has been a key figure for the team since his arrival. His influence on the pitch has been significant, and his commitment is viewed as vital as the club prepares for a renewed challenge in the Premier League under interim head coach Michael Carrick.
The midfielder is currently on a break following his participation in the World Cup and is expected to return for pre-season training next week. While no final agreement has yet been confirmed, sources close to the situation indicate Fernandes intends to remain with the Red Devils as they aim to strengthen their title ambitions.

At Miami, Casemiro will join Argentina's Lionel Messi, continuing the trend of high-profile international players competing in the MLS.
