By MANCHESTER, UK – Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has signed a new three-year contract with the club, extending his stay at Old Trafford until the summer of 2027. The deal also includes an option for an additional 12 months, keeping the Portuguese international in Manchester well into his thirties.
This new contract ends any speculation about Fernandes’ future, which had been the subject of rumors following the conclusion of last season. Having already made 234 appearances since joining the club in 2020, Fernandes has become an integral part of United’s squad and leadership.
“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,” Fernandes said in an interview with ManUtd.com.
The 29-year-old midfielder has delivered numerous memorable moments for the Red Devils, including a hat-trick against Leeds, leading the team out at Old Trafford on European nights, and lifting trophies at Wembley. Reflecting on his time at United, Fernandes added, “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 also emphasized his confidence in Manchester United’s future, expressing optimism about the club’s direction under the current leadership and managerial team. “From my discussions with the football leadership and manager, it is clear how determined everyone is to fight for major trophies in the years ahead. I can see how positive the future is going to be, and I am thrilled about leading this team forward.”
The extension signals Fernandes’ continued commitment to Manchester United’s success as the club strives to compete for titles both domestically and on the European stage.
