Bruno Fernandes has reportedly turned down a second contract proposal from Manchester United, according to BBC Sport and other outlets. The Portugal international’s current deal expires at the end of the 2026/27 season, so the club needs to settle his future soon.
The 32-year-old’s contract includes an option for Manchester United to trigger a 12-month extension until June 2028. The club wants to avoid that route and would prefer a renewal by mutual agreement. Club officials have been in talks with his representatives since September, yet the captain has rejected both offers.
Fernandes Rejects Second Proposal
Fernandes has refused United’s second proposal for a new deal at Old Trafford. He had already turned down terms over the summer, which signals a clear gap between the two sides.
If no agreement emerges, the club will almost certainly activate the 12-month clause before the end of 2026. That step is part of a wider plan. It would protect United from losing their captain on a free transfer in 2027 if he opens talks with a non-Premier League club, and it gives the club more time to persuade their No.8 to stay in Manchester.
