According to Sky Sports, " Man United and Bruno Fernandes both want to complete the contract extension." The new contract is valid until the summer of 2027, with the option to extend for another year.
Bruno Fernandes is the captain of Man United, joining the team in January 2020. His contract with the Old Trafford team still has 2 more years left, after he signed an extension in 2022.
During his time with the Red Devils, Bruno made 234 appearances for Man United, scoring 79 goals and 67 assists. In particular, the Portuguese midfielder scored 23 goals on penalty kicks.
With Man United, Bruno won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, both titles under Erik ten Hag. He also reached the final of the Europa League in the 2020-2021 season but lost to Villarreal.
There was some media speculation that the Portuguese international could leave this summer, but last May, he shared that he wanted to continue with Man United.
"After this difficult season, I have a responsibility to contribute more. That starts with me. I love stepping onto the field at Old Trafford more than anything in this world. I don't want to leave go. This has always been my biggest dream.
I just want my expectations to match the club's expectations. If you talk to any fan, they will tell you the same thing. We want to compete for the tournament. We want to play in the UEFA Champions League.
We want to reach the finals of cup competitions. That's the standard we want to aim for, that's what we want. I just want to continue fighting for Man United, wherever I want to stay, so does my whole family," Bruno Fernandes shared with Players Tribune.
According to the schedule, Man United will start the new season with a match against Fulham at home. After that, the team will visit Brighton, before returning home to Old Trafford to face Liverpool. The return match with Liverpool will take place on January 4, 2025.
Fans will have to wait until December 2024 to witness the first Manchester derby of the season, away to Man City on December 14. In the recent English Super Cup match, Man City won after a penalty shootout.
During Boxing Day, Man United will be a guest at Wolves Stadium. They will end the 2024-2025 season by welcoming Aston Villa at home.
