Marcotti: New Fernandes contract would be a dumb move for Man United (1:04)

Before Bruno Fernandes signed a new contract with Manchester United, Gab Marcotti couldn't understand why the club needed to extend his contract. 1:04

The club have confirmed that Bruno Fernandes has signed a contract extension. There is an option to extend it another year to 2027.

The Portugal international, who scored twice to seal his club's passage to the World Cup in midweek, will be among United's top earners agreeing a new deal.

From the moment I joined Manchester United, I had a special relationship with the club and its fans. I dreamed of playing for this team one day.

That dream is a reality and an honor.

Even after two years, it still feels great to score in front of the Stretford End and hear the fans sing my song. It is a privilege to wear this shirt and fight for our club.

I know that the rest of the squad and staff share the same desire to achieve more here. We want to give the fans the success they deserve.

We have shared some great moments over the last few years, but the best is yet to come from myself and this team.

After arriving at United from Sporting for 55 million in January 2020, he had three years to sign a new deal. During the international break, United moved to step up negotiations over fresh terms for one of their key players.

You can watch live games and replays on the internet.

The 27 year old scored a hat trick on the opening day of the season but has suffered a dip in form throughout the rest of the season. His new contract is a huge boost for the club, who are set to go five seasons without lifting a trophy.

So happy to keep living this dream for more years ♥️ @ManUtd 🖤 pic.twitter.com/I62k64nBQD

John Murtough is the football director at United. His goals and assists record is amazing and he has performed consistently since he joined the club.

Bruno's work-rate, dedication and fantastic attitude are exactly what we want from a Manchester United player. He is the ultimate professional with many fantastic attributes to drive the high standards required to play for this great club.

Bruno is determined to deliver sustained success on the pitch to get us back to challenging for titles.

The future of the interim manager at United is uncertain, with the end of the season in sight. According to sources, Eric ten Hag has been interviewed for the job at Old United, while Mauricio Pochettino has admirers at the club.
