Bruno Fernandes has reportedly turned down a second contract extension offer from Manchester United as discussions regarding his long-term stay at Old Trafford remain ongoing.
According to an exclusive report published by The Athletic, the club captain previously declined United’s opening proposal over the summer. While the Red Devils recently returned with a sweetened package aimed at locking down his commitment, the revised terms still fall short of Fernandes’ expectations. As a result, further talks between the midfielder’s camp and the club are anticipated.
