Bruno Fernandes has turned down a second contract proposal from Manchester United, putting the club in a huge sweat over the future of their captain.
The Portuguese star’s current deal runs out in 2027, and United have been desperate to tie their skipper down to a long‑term extension for months. Talks have dragged on, and now Bruno has knocked back the club’s second formal offer.
Sources say Bruno and his team feel the package on the table does not match his status as United’s main man, and he wants terms that reflect how vital he is to the side.
There is real anxiety inside Old Trafford, especially after the sacking of Michael Carrick. Fans are worried that the uncertainty around the manager’s job could make it even harder to get a deal over the line.
Bruno has not asked for a transfer and remains fully focused on playing for United for now, but the rejection sends a very clear message to the club’s hierarchy. United will have to come back with a much stronger offer if they want to keep their captain at Old Trafford long‑term.
