Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes declines new contract offer
Bruno Fernandes has turned down a fresh contract proposal from Manchester United, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.
Manchester United's captain Bruno Fernandes has reportedly rejected a new contract offer from the club. The 32-year-old Portugal international is in the final year of his existing agreement, which includes an optional additional year that has not yet been activated by United.
According to reports, Fernandes was presented with fresh terms during the summer but declined them, and a second offer was also turned down. The club is said to be preparing further negotiations, focusing on contract length and salary.
Fernandes finished the previous season with 21 Premier League assists, a record for the competition, and was named Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year and PFA Player of the Year. He has contributed four goals and two assists in nine league appearances this season.
Manchester United recently dismissed manager Michael Carrick after a poor start to the campaign, with Mauricio Pochettino expected to take over. Fernandes previously attracted interest from Saudi club Al-Hilal in 2025 but chose to remain in European football.
