Bruno Fernandes is preparing to sign a new contract with Manchester United valid until June 2026 with an activation clause for an additional 12 months. Over the past 4 years, since arriving at Old Trafford, the Portuguese midfielder has always played with dedication and shown a professional attitude. That is why he was given the captaincy by Erik ten Hag last season.
In recent seasons, Bruno has had to play many positions, sometimes as a defensive midfielder and temporary striker. The 29-year-old star's strongest point is her ability to adapt. Therefore, he is suitable for all types of tactics and is highly trusted by coaches.
In more than 4 years playing for MU, Bruno Fernandes won the Sir Matt Busby award three times, only less than Cristiano Ronaldo and David De Gea. He is considered the most successful signing since 2013, after the era of Sir Alex Ferguson. Bruno's class also comes from the fact that he has incredible endurance and rarely gets injured.
Tactically, looking from the English Super Cup match, if the midfield and strikers of the "Red Devils" have many players receiving the ball and running, Bruno will have a lot more freedom. In the upcoming purification process, the team will be reinvested and supplemented with more young talents. That is one of the reasons that can convince the captain of the "Red Devils" to stay. He is starting to turn 30 and cannot continue to run match after match like he has for the past 4 years.
If he signs a new contract, Bruno's salary will certainly be higher than the current one and reach the highest level in the club, on par with Marcus Rashford. Raising the salary for the 29-year-old midfielder, in addition to increasing remuneration to retain, INEOS in its restructuring process also needs to show all other players that to get a high salary, they need to be able to work and contribute. like Bruno Fernandes.
The fact that Bruno can sign until 2027 also helps Man United have a generational transition. After 3 years, Kobbie Mainoo will be 22 years old and if he continues to develop well, he can completely take over the position his senior left behind. Not only Mainoo, a series of other young stars of the "Red Devils" at that time also entered maturity such as Alejandro Garnacho (23), Rasmus Hojlund (24), Leny Yoro (21) and Joshua Zirkzee (26).
This young force is characterized by playing a variety of positions and can complement each other well. As long as they are properly trained and have an experienced person like captain Bruno leading them, they can become the mainstay of the club in the near future, thereby gradually replacing the Portuguese midfielder. If this plan is successful, it will be a very bright future for the Old Trafford team.
Signing a new contract can help Bruno become one of the true legends of the "Red Devils". In a difficult period after Sir Alex's successful era, having a dedicated star like the Portuguese midfielder is not simple and Man United should appreciate it.
