Bruno Fernandes has extended his contract with Manchester United, expressing optimism about future achievements with the club. Joining from Sporting CP in January 2020 for an initial fee of £47 million, Fernandes quickly made an impact at Old Trafford. In his debut season, he scored 12 goals despite the challenges posed by COVID-19.
Fernandes' influence grew in his first full season in England, netting 28 goals across all competitions. Over 234 games, he has accumulated 79 goals and 67 assists. His ability to create chances has been unmatched in the Premier League since his arrival.

On the eve of a new Premier League season, Fernandes has committed to United until 2027, with an option for an additional year. This new deal reportedly aligns his salary with the club's top earners. His performances have warranted this status, and he believes even better days lie ahead for both himself and the team.
"Everybody knows the passion I have for Manchester United," Fernandes told the club's media channels. "I understand the responsibility and significance of wearing this shirt and the levels of dedication and desire required to represent this incredible club."
Reflecting on his journey so far, Fernandes highlighted several memorable moments: "I have had so many special moments here already; hearing my name sung from the Stretford End, scoring a hat-trick against Leeds, leading the team out at Old Trafford on European nights and lifting trophies at Wembley."
Despite these achievements, Fernandes is confident that his best moments are yet to come: "But I wouldn't have signed this contract if I didn't believe that my best moments in a United shirt are still to come."
Fernandes was named captain by Erik ten Hag at the start of last season. Although it was a challenging campaign for United, they ended on a high note by defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup final. This victory secured both silverware and European football for another season.
"From my discussions with the football leadership and manager, it is clear how determined everyone is to fight for major trophies in the years ahead," Fernandes stated. "I can see how positive the future is going to be, and I am relishing leading this team forward."
The Portuguese international's commitment comes after helping United win the EFL Cup and return to the Champions League in 2022-23. His leadership qualities were evident as he guided his team through a tough season.
As Bruno Fernandes looks forward to more success with Manchester United, fans can expect continued dedication and passion from their captain. The upcoming seasons promise exciting prospects as Fernandes leads his team towards new heights.
