Bruno Fernandes signs new contract with Man Utd until 2027

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract until the summer of 2027, with the option for a further year.

Fernandes, who joined the club in January 2020 from Sporting Lisbon in a £68m deal, had two years left on his previous contract, which he signed in 2022.


In his four and a half years at Old Trafford, the Portugal international has made 234 appearances in all competitions, scoring 79 goals and providing 67 assists.

The 29-year-old has won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup under Erik ten Hag, and reached the Europa League final in 2021 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.


There had been speculation that Fernandes could leave this summer but he said in May he wanted to stay at the club.

Fernandes, who has won three Man Utd Player of the Year awards, believes his "best moments are still to come" at the club.

After signing his new deal, he said: "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.


"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 at Old Trafford on European nights and lifting trophies at Wembley. 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.

"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 relishing leading this team forward."
