Fernandes seeks better Manchester United deal but wants clarity on future
United could be tempted to sell captain to fund new signings‘I just want my expectations to fit the expectations of the club’
Bruno Fernandes is pushing for a new contract from Manchester United that would take him into the top pay bracket with Marcus Rashford, Casemiro and Jadon Sancho, as the captain waits for clarity regarding the manager and the club’s long-term vision before deciding whether to seek a transfer.
Although the United hierarchy, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, view Fernandes as the team’s best player and are not actively looking to sell him, the need to bring in funds and reduce the wage bill in order to invest significantly in the squad may mean any realistic offer will be countenanced.
