Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2027.
The 29-year-old midfielder joined United from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 and has made 234 appearances in all competitions, scoring 79 goals.
“Everybody knows the passion I have for Manchester United,” Fernandes told the club’s official website.

“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.”
The Portuguese made Premier League history in his debut year with the club, becoming the first player to win the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award four times in a calendar year, doing so in February, June, November and December 2020.
Fernandes was named club captain ahead of the 2023/24 season and would end the campaign by leading United to FA Cup final glory, as they beat Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley Stadium.
He also helped the Red Devils win the EFL Cup in 2022/23.
His first match following his new deal will be the opening fixture of the 2024/25 season, when United welcome Fulham to Old Trafford on Friday 16 August.
