Man United & Bruno Fernandes Are Struggling to Agree New Deal
Talks have slowed as United and Fernandes work through bonuses and clauses, with the captain still starting all six matches this season.
- Manchester United are working to keep captain Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford beyond his current deal, with fresh talks underway over a contract extension.
- Negotiations have reportedly slowed as both sides resolve details regarding bonuses and deal structure, following United's resistance to summer interest from Galatasaray and Saudi Pro League clubs including Al-Hilal.
- The 32-year-old has started all six matches this season, recently scoring in the 4-0 Champions League victory over Sabah, as manager Michael Carrick continues to rely on his experience.
- Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen warned that the club would take a "massive, massive step back" if they sold their captain, telling Metro that Fernandes remains an "important part" of the team.
- United must balance financial prudence with protecting a match-winner, as handing a long, expensive contract to a player turning 33 next year carries risk; performance-related bonuses may offer a more sensible approach.
