According to Bruno Fernandes, there were “concrete offers” for him to quit Manchester United before to signing his new contract.

A new long-term contract, securing the captain’s future with the club until 2027, has been signed.

On the eve of the new season, manager Erik ten Hag receives a major boost with the new contract, which includes the option of an additional year. He is now reportedly in a position to compete with the club’s highest earners thanks to the new agreement, which is an increase from his previous £240,000 per week contract.There was some concern about Fernandes’s long-term future at the end of last season, but that has been put to rest. He has won three Player of the Year titles since joining United in January 2020.

This summer, he was given the opportunity to quit the club, but he chose to dedicate his future to the Old Trafford side, as he has now disclosed.The club’s confidence in Fernandes was “very important” to him, he told ESPN Brasil. The club knew I would be going, I had offers from other clubs, yet I was still approached by them.

It was clear the club was in need of my services, going through a period of transition, and wanting to try new things, nevertheless.

Fernandes made it clear that his love for Manchester United was palpable when he signed his new contract. Wearing this shirt is an honor, and I am well-aware of the magnitude of the commitment and passion needed to do justice to this fantastic club.

So many memorable experiences have already occurred during my time here: having my name screamed from the Stretford End, scoring a hat trick against Leeds, captaining the club on European evenings at Old Trafford, and winning trophies at Wembley.

“However, I would never have agreed to this deal if I didn’t think that my finest United moments are yet to come.”
