Official announcement to follow” – Fabrizio Romano just shared more big news out of Man Utd

Bruno Fernandes, a midfielder for Manchester United, is expected to sign a new contract today (Wednesday), according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Ever since his arrival at Old Trafford, the Portuguese international has been without a doubt one of United’s most vital players. The 29-year-old has demonstrated his value both on and off the pitch by consistently leading Erik ten Hag’s team.

For the Red Devils, extending his stay with the team is a big decision that may have equal significance to some of their recent additions.

Given Fernandes’ significance to the team, United was never likely to plan on letting him go through the exit door. Although Paris Saint-Germain of Ligue 1 had previously indicated interest in signing him, his new deal puts an end to rumours that he would be looking to leave in the near future.

Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Noussair Mazraoui, and Matthijs de Ligt have all been confirmed as new arrivals to United, making the summer transfer window exciting for supporters. However, the extension of Fernandes’ contract will be viewed as just as significant.

Spotrac reports that Fernandes’ current salary is lower than that of players who have clearly had less of an impact than the Portuguese star, such as Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, and Mason Mount. Fernandes should receive compensation commensurate with the highest earners at United.

United wouldn’t have been in a rush to worry about losing the 29-year-old for free because his previous contract was scheduled to expire in 2026, but it’s a declaration of purpose from INEOS to carry on developing their project with their main players remaining.
