Bruno Fernandes “refusing” to sign New Man United Contact

Bruno Fernandes, the  Portuguese star has been a revelation since joining the club from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 and has been credited with United’s huge upturn in fortunes. Struggling prior to his arrival, Fernandes inspired a third place finish last season and currently lie in second behind leaders Manchester City.

It is reported that the 26-year-old earns around £100,000-a-week and United were hoping to double his wages as a reward for his fine form. However, according to a report in The Sun, Fernandes is concerned with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s recent comments in which the Norwegian claimed that that ongoing global pandemic would hit transfers this summer;

Reports continue surrounding the future of fellow midfielder Paul Pogba, as well as Edinson Cavani, and Fernandes is seeking assurances that his ambitions are matched by those at the club.

The playmaker, who currently lies second in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, has consistently stated his desire to win trophies and would refuse to settle for ‘top four’ year-upon-year.

Although contracted until 2025 with the option of an additional year, this news will ultimately come as a blow to the Manchester United hierarchy with the club set to lock horns with European giants AC Milan in the Europa League Round of 16 tomorrow.
