Bruno Fernandes is close to agreeing a new five-year contract at Manchester United.

The Portugal playmaker, 27, still has three years left on his current deal.

However, United are interested in extending the midfielder’s stay after his £47 million arrival from Sporting Lisbon in 2020.

Talks stalled around the turn of the year, but they have now resumed, and it is understood that the club is pleased with the outcome.

During the current international break, when Portugal is attempting to qualify for the World Cup, an announcement is improbable.

If the sale goes through as planned, it will be a big boost for the Premier League club, which has gone five seasons without a trophy, is not guaranteed a place in the Champions League next season, and has yet to name a new manager.

Although Fernandes’ form has fallen since he won four Premier League player of the month honors in 2020 and was selected to United’s Team of the Year last season, he is still seen as an important component of the club’s future at a time when so many senior players are uncertain.
