The captain calls the shots! Bruno Fernandes rejects Manchester United’s second offer

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected the club’s second official offer to extend his contract.

Details: According to exclusive information from respected journalist Adam Crafton, the first offer was made to the 32-year-old Portuguese playmaker last summer, with the second attempt coming just days ago. However, the player’s camp felt the terms on offer were not convincing enough: salary and the length of the new contract remain the main sticking points.

The midfielder’s current deal with the Red Devils runs until the summer of 2027 and includes an option to extend it for a further season. Despite two proposals being rejected, talks between the club’s hierarchy and the captain’s representatives are ongoing, with further rounds of negotiations expected soon. Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival in the dugout could also shift the balance of power at Old Trafford.

It is worth noting that Bruno Fernandes has represented Manchester United since January 2020, winning the FA Cup and the English League Cup as captain while remaining the main orchestrator of the Manchester side’s attacks.
