Manchester United have decided to pursue a new contract for captain Bruno Fernandes, according to information published on social media by football insider Nicolo Schira.
The club have offered the Portugal midfielder an extension that would keep him at Manchester United until 2029. His current agreement with the club is due to expire at the end of June 2027.
The reported proposal would therefore extend Fernandes’ commitment by two years beyond the end of his existing deal. The information has been attributed to Schira and concerns the club’s plans for the 31-year-old midfielder.
Fernandes remains a central part of Manchester United’s plans, with the club now understood to have made its position clear on his future. The reported decision is to continue working with the Portugal international rather than allow his current contract to run down towards its final year.
Fernandes’ current market value is listed at €35m. The midfielder has also made an immediate impact in the current Premier League season, featuring in two matches and recording three goals and one assist.
That return means Fernandes has contributed directly to four goals in his two league appearances this season. His performances have come as Manchester United consider a longer-term agreement designed to keep him at the club through 2029.
The existing contract remains in place until June 2027, meaning there is no immediate expiry issue. However, the reported offer would provide a longer commitment between the player and Manchester United and establish a new end date for his stay at the club.
Schira’s report does not state whether Fernandes has accepted the proposed terms. It confirms only that Manchester United have decided to offer the midfielder a new contract extending to 2029.
Fernandes is 31 and is currently valued at €35m, while his early-season Premier League figures stand at three goals and one assist from two games. Those details form the background to the club’s reported decision to seek an extension.
The proposed agreement would keep Fernandes tied to Manchester United beyond the remainder of his existing deal. For now, the key development is the club’s reported offer, rather than a completed renewal, with the current contract still scheduled to expire at the end of June 2027.
