Manchester United are hopeful of tying captain Bruno Fernandes down to a new long-term deal.
Manchester United are hopeful of agreeing a new contract with skipper Bruno Fernandes over the next few weeks.It is possible an announcement could be made before the transfer window closes on 30 August, but the main focus of United's hierarchy at present is on concluding deals that have to meet that deadline.
Fernandes replaced Harry Maguire as club captain in 2023 and Erik ten Hag has kept faith in the midfielder, despite coming under intense criticism at times from former United skippers Gary Neville and Roy Keane.However, a sale was always likely to be based on a bid the club found impossible to turn down, which has not materialised.
Fernandes cast doubt on his future at Old Trafford before May's FA Cup final, saying he wanted his own expectations to fit those of the club as a whole. The midfielder played 90 minutes on Saturday as United were beaten on penalties following a 1-1 draw in the Community Shield against Manchester City.In addition to the arrivals of Leny Yoro from Lille and striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, that would take United's spending this summer to almost £140m.
