Bruno Fernandes Prioritizes Trophies Over Money With New Manchester United Contract

Bruno Fernandes has signed a new contract with Manchester United, committing to the club until 2027. He says his goal is to win trophies and compete at the highest level, not just earn money.

WHAT FERNANDES SAID ABOUT HIS FUTURE

The Manchester United captain responded to rumors about his future, stating: “I don’t care about money. If I did, I could leave whenever I wanted, but that’s not what I’m interested in. Winning trophies and competing in the best competitions is what I’m all about.”

FERNANDES REMAINS CENTRAL TO UNITED’S PLANS

By extending his contract, Fernandes has shown his commitment to Manchester United’s ambitions. Since joining the club from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, Fernandes has made 234 appearances, scored 79 goals, and provided 67 assists. He has won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup as captain, but United have fallen short of expectations in the Premier League, finishing the 2024-25 season in eighth place. Fernandes’s new contract, which runs until June 2027 with a one-year extension option, makes him one of the club’s highest earners. This reflects his essential role in the team.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR UNITED AND FERNANDES

Manchester United face a challenging summer as they attempt to rebuild and return to the Champions League. Fernandes will lead the team as they begin the new Premier League season against Fulham at Old Trafford. The team’s goal is to close the gap on the top four after finishing 13 points behind Aston Villa in 2024-25. With Fernandes reiterating his desire to compete for major trophies, United fans hope his leadership will spark a turnaround next season.
