Bruno Fernandes signs new Manchester United deal till 2026

 

 

Bruno Fernandes, a midfielder for Manchester United, has signed a new deal that will keep him at the club until June 2026, with an option to extend for another year, the English club said on Friday.

 

In January 2020, the Portugal international joined United from Sporting and has quickly established himself as a major member of the squad.

In 117 appearances for United in all competitions, the 27-year-old playmaker has scored 49 goals and provided 39 assists, however his form has fallen this season.

 

“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,” Fernandes said.

“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 also scored a brace in Portugal’s European qualification triumph against North Macedonia this week, securing a spot in this year’s World Cup.

 

United are now in sixth place in the Premier League with 50 points after 29 games, and they play Leicester City on Saturday.
