Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has signed a one-year contract extension with the club.
The 27-year-old, who joined in January 2020 for an initial £47m, is now under contract until 2026 and this new deal includes an option for a further one-year extension.
Fernandes has 49 goals in 117 games for United in all competitions.
“There’s so much more I want to do here,” he said, “and the same goes for the rest of the squad and staff.”
“More than anything, we want to give the fans the success they deserve,” Fernandes said, adding that he had 39 assists.
“We’ve had some incredible experiences together, but the best is yet to come from myself and this group.”
Manchester United director of football John Murtough described Fernandes as the “ideal professional” who has performed “remarkably consistently” since his arrival.
“Bruno, like everyone else at the football club, is incredibly ambitious and keen to provide continuous success on the pitch in order to return us to title contention,” Murtough continued.
Despite only entering midway through the season, Fernandes was hailed a vital signing and won the club’s Matt Busby Player of the Year award, which he also won last season.
Since his arrival, no player has created more goals for the club, and he was the team’s leading scorer last season, with 28 goals across all competitions.
However, his performance this season has drawn criticism, as United have slid to sixth place in the Premier League table, following the sacking of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the appointment of Ralf Rangnick.
