Fernandes signs new contract to stay at Manchester United until 2027
LONDON: Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has committed his future to the club by signing a new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2027, with an option to extend for an additional year. The club announced the news on Wednesday, solidifying Fernandes’ position as a central figure in the team’s future.
The 29-year-old Portugal international, who joined United in January 2020, has been a crucial part of the squad, contributing 79 goals and 67 assists in 234 appearances. This new contract follows the extension he signed in 2022, which was set to run until 2026.
“Everybody knows the passion I have for Manchester United,” Fernandes expressed in a statement. “I understand the responsibility and significance of wearing this shirt, and the levels of dedication and desire required to represent this incredible club. 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’ leadership and performances have been pivotal for Manchester United, and with this contract, the club is showing their trust in his abilities to guide them in the years to come. United, who won the FA Cup last season, will kick off their Premier League campaign at home against Fulham on Friday.
