In recent seasons, Bruno Fernandes has been heavily linked with exit Old Trafford. Fernandes stayed. At the weekend, the 31-year-old was hailed as the Premier League’s assist king with a historic 21 assists in the same season, named Player of the Year, while also leading United back to the Champions League. Now it’s all about ensuring that the Portuguese doesn’t have any other thoughts than to continue at Old Trafford. It is therefore uplifting for the supporters to hear the process is underway.
Fernandes is said to have a buyout clause of £57 million in his contract, in other words, no obstacle if one of the big clubs persuades the United captain to leave United. According to transfer journalist Romano, negotiations between United and the captain have now started, with the first talks taking place.

European and Saudi Arabian clubs are ready to jump at the opportunity with Fernandes out of contract next summer, but there is no doubt that Manchester United are now doing everything possible to facilitate Fernandes’ extension.
He has Michael Carrick as his coach, the Champions League ticket is secured, United’s stated ambitions will be followed by action in the transfer market, and Fernandes can expect a wage deal as the club’s highest-paid player. Nothing should stand in the way of Bruno Fernandes continuing his course to the Premier League title with Man Utd.
