Intricate details of Bruno Fernandes' new Manchester United contract have come to light. The Portuguese midfielder has signed a new deal with the club and has been offered a mega pay-rise.
Fernandes is now the club's highest earner, with a new salary of £350,000 per week, as per talkSPORT, which puts the Portuguese alongside Marcus Rashford. The club captain was previously in a deal that had seen him earn £220,000 weekly.
He has received a massive salary hike, which comes after the entire squad was handed a 25% pay-cut due to their inability to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
Manchester United finished eighth in the league last season, their worst finish in the Premier League era. However, by virtue of winning the FA Cup, the club secured a spot in the UEFA Europa League.
Bruno Fernandes joined the Red Devils in January 2020 and has made 234 appearances across competitions, registering an impressive 79 goals and 67 assists.
Last season, the Red Devils captain scored 15 goals and provided 13 assists in 48 outings across competitions. He's gearing up well for the 2024-25 season, providing an assist in the FA Community Shield loss (on penalties) to Manchester City.
Bruno Fernandes reacts to signing new Manchester United contract
Bruno Fernandes was linked with a summer exit, with clubs like Bayern Munich mentioned among potential suitors. The Portuguese, though, has penned a new deal till 2027.
The midfielder spoke about his passion and said that he believes his best moments with Manchester United are yet to come. He said after pledging his future at Old Trafford (via talkSPORT):
"Everybody knows the passion I have for Manchester United. I understand the responsibility and significance of wearing this shirt, and the levels of dedication and desire required to represent this incredible club."
He added:
"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 to Old Trafford on European nights and lifting trophies at Wembley."
He continued:
"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."
Bruno Fernandes' importance for Manchester United can't be overstated, so Red Devils' fans will hope that he can continue his impressive numbers and performances.
