Man Utd prepare to 'break the bank' to keep disillusioned Bruno Fernandes at the club
Bruno Fernandes is considering his future at Manchester United and will be inundated with offers from other clubs at the end of the season as the disillusioned captain weighs up his options
Manchester United will need to splash the cash to retain Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford this summer. Fernandes is weighing up his Old Trafford future - and is set to be flooded with approaches from rival clubs when the season concludes.
The Portuguese playmaker has grown frustrated with the club's operations and constant managerial upheaval. He nearly departed United last summer, though he turned down the opportunity to move to the Saudi Pro League.
The United skipper will hold off until this campaign ends before making his decision. Whilst Fernandes has been pleased with Michael Carrick's influence as caretaker boss, he's keen to discover who the next permanent manager will be.
The 31-year-old recognises his upcoming contract will likely be his final lucrative agreement and that he must capitalise. He's also aware that United hierarchy are frantic to prevent his departure.
United would boost their chances of retaining Fernandes if they can guarantee Champions League action.
However, club executives will still need to present Fernandes with a package worth around £400,000-a-week, establishing him as the top earner, reports the Mirror.
This would represent a substantial rise from his existing deal, which expires in 2027 and includes an optional 12-month extension.
Fernandes understands his importance to United - and aims to exploit it. Whether United would be prepared to offer such terms to a player in his thirties remains unclear.
He would possess no resale worth by the conclusion of any fresh agreement. However, with Casemiro set to depart in the summer, United will be offloading a player on £400,000-a-week, thus freeing up some financial wiggle room.
Since joining United in 2020, Fernandes has only clinched two domestic titles and he needs assurance that he's at a club capable of meeting his aspirations.
