BRUNO FERNANDES REPORTEDLY REJECTS SECOND MAN UNITED CONTRACT OFFER

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has reportedly turned down a second contract proposal, leaving his future unresolved as his current deal approaches its expiry at the end of the season.

Negotiations between the club and his representatives have continued since the summer, but the two sides have yet to reach an agreement. The reasons for rejecting the offers were not disclosed.

The uncertainty follows an outstanding 2025/26 campaign in which Fernandes helped United finish third and return to the Champions League.

He registered 21 Premier League assists, surpassing the previous record jointly held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.

His performances earned him the FWA Footballer of the Year, PFA Player of the Year and United’s Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year awards.

This season has proved more difficult, with United slipping into the relegation zone and dismissing manager Michael Carrick.

The club is now pursuing Mauricio Pochettino as his replacement. The Argentine has reportedly agreed personal terms, with United expected to pay a release clause of approximately £7.4 million to secure his departure from the United States national team.

Fernandes’ contract negotiations remain ongoing, with no agreement or departure announced.
