Manchester United consider a new contract for skipper Bruno Fernandes after the Euros after Erik ten Hag’s stay as manager.
According to Football Insider, Bruno Fernandes could be handed a new deal to ward off suitors and cement his place in the squad. There have been numerous doubts about the 29-year-old mainstay’s long-term and immediate future, but that may see a resolution after Erik ten Hag was retained as manager.
Bruno Fernandes to get a new contract?
Manchester United have taken their time to make key decisions, but they have made some right calls, the first few under the new management of INEOS. For starters, they have retained Erik ten Hag as their manager despite heavy speculation about the Dutchman’s imminent sacking. Now, they will likely hand him a new two-year extension over his current deal.
Similarly, they have decided on Bruno Fernandes, as the skipper is unlikely to leave Manchester United and prolong his career at Old Trafford. In fact, they are planning on handing the 29-year-old mainstay a new contract to ward off suitors emerging in the background.
There was interest from Saudi Arabia a while ago when speculation pointed at Fernandes likely considering his future at the club. The Portuguese international wants to see progress made by the club, especially with their activities in the transfer market, to strengthen the squad.
There’s also interest from Bayern Munich, and some consider Vincent Kompany’s pursuit as a strong one. While Manchester United have no plans to part ways with one of their most important players, they might offer Fernandes a new deal that will supersede his current deal that ends in 2026 with the option of an extra season.
Ten Hag stay key to Manchester United’s plans
One might assume that if Manchester United had sacked Ten Hag, things would have been complicated on multiple fronts. Fernandes is someone trusted by the Dutchman, and as the club is now reportedly considering a new contract for the Portuguese international, the manager’s presence will help swing the decision in favour of the player staying.
Similarly, they hope to find solutions to a few more problems, such as the Marcus Rashford situation, as well as consider the future of Jadon Sancho. Hence, for the time being, keeping Ten Hag has been a smart decision from INEOS, one that will reap its benefits in the coming period.
