Bruno signs new four-year deal at United

Manchester United have finally tied Bruno Fernandes down to a new deal at Old Trafford.

The club reportedly first held talks with the playmaker last summer.

And with the star keen to remain at Old Trafford, he has signed a four-year extension until June 2026, with the option of a further year. 

The Portugal international, who has contributed 49 goals and 39 assists in 117 games for United, said: "From the moment I joined, I have had a special relationship with the club and our amazing fans. 

"I grew up watching this team, dreaming of getting the chance to play here one day. That dream is now a reality and an honour."

Fernandes, 27, moved to Manchester from Sporting in January 2020, quickly establishing himself as one of United's key men.

And his new deal is a welcome boost with a number of his team-mates facing uncertain futures as United's search for a successor to interim boss Ralf Rangnick continues. 

Fernandes added: "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. 

"It is a true privilege to wear this shirt and to fight for our incredible club.

"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 they deserve. 

"We have shared some great moments over the last years but the best is yet to come from myself and this team."

United resume their battle for a top-four finish when Leicester visit the Theatre of Dreams tomorrow evening.
