Bruno Fernandes joins Man United top earners as he signs new lucrative contract

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract making him one of the highest-paid players at Old Trafford.

The Portugal international has extended his stay with the Red Devils until 2027, with an option for an additional year.

The lucrative deal brings Fernandes’ salary in line with Marcus Rashford, making him one of the club’s top earners at around £350,000 per week.

This marks a significant increase from his previous earnings of approximately £220,000 per week.

Fernandes’ contract extension comes after United players were subjected to a 25 percent pay cut due to the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.

“Everybody knows the passion I have for Manchester United,” Fernandes said on the club’s official website.

“I understand the responsibility and significance of wearing this shirt, and I believe my best moments in a United shirt are still to come,” he added.

Despite being linked with moves to Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and the Saudi Pro League, Fernandes’ new contract puts an end to any speculation about his future.
