Bruno Fernandes has reportedly rejected a second contract proposal from Manchester United as negotiations over his future at Old Trafford continue.
The Athletic confirmed the news in an exclusive on its official website as it concerns the future of Bruno Fernandes. United captain had already turned down the club’s initial offer during the summer, with the latest proposal representing an improved package in an attempt to convince him to commit his future to the club.
However, Fernandes remains unsatisfied with the terms currently on the table, meaning further discussions between both parties are expected as Manchester United look to reach an agreement with their influential captain.
Manchester United are keen to secure Fernandes’ long-term future, given his importance to the team and his leadership role since taking over the captaincy. The Portuguese midfielder remains one of the club’s most influential players, and losing him would represent a significant setback to their plans.
There is no indication that negotiations have completely broken down. Both sides are expected to continue discussions, with United potentially having to improve their offer further if they are to convince Fernandes to put pen to paper on a new contract.
