Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract to keep him at the club until 2027, with the option to extend for a further year.
Fernandes’ previous deal was set to expire in the summer of 2026, with the Portugal international now committing his future to the Red Devils.
The 28-year-old has scored 79 goals and provided 67 assists since joining the Red Devils from Sporting in January 2020.
He has made 234 appearances for the club and took over as skipper from Harry Maguire in July 2023.

Fernandes told the club’s website: “Everybody knows the passion I have for Manchester United. I understand the responsibility and significance of wearing this shirt, and the levels of dedication and desire required to represent this incredible club.
“I have had so many special moments here already; hearing my name sung from the Stretford End, scoring a hat-trick against Leeds, leading the team out at Old Trafford on European nights and lifting trophies at Wembley.
“But I wouldn’t have signed this contract if I didn’t believe that my best moments in a United shirt are still to come.
“From my discussions with the football leadership and manager, it is clear how determined everyone is to fight for major trophies in the years ahead. I can see how positive the future is going to be and I am relishing leading this team forward.”
