    Since joining United in 2020, Fernandes has scored 79 goals and provided 67 assists in 234 appearances. His previous contract, signed in 2022, was set to run until 2026.

     

    “Everybody knows the passion I have for Manchester United,” said the 29-year-old in a statement.

    “I understand the responsibility and significance of wearing this shirt, and the levels of dedication and desire required to represent this incredible club. I wouldn’t have signed this contract if I didn’t believe that my best moments in a United shirt are still to come.”

    Paris Saint-Germain is aiming to compensate for the departure of Kylian Mbappe by pursuing Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United.

     

    Mbappe has left the Parc des Princes as a free agent and has been officially unveiled by Real Madrid. According to L’Equipe, PSG is now seeking to bolster their attacking strength by attracting Fernandes this summer.

     

    Since joining Manchester United from Sporting in early 2020, Fernandes has been a crucial player for the team. Despite his impressive performances for the Red Devils, the Premier League club has faced challenges in recent years, leading the Portuguese midfielder to consider a move elsewhere.

     

    The Portuguese international has also attracted interest from clubs such as Bayern Munich and Al-Nassr this summer.

    Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has named midfielder Portuguese, Bruno Fernandes as the club’s new  captain.

    This new development was made known via its website on Thursday.

    Recall that Ten Hag stripped defender, Harry Maguire of the captaincy armband last week.

    It remains unclear if the English defender will remain at the club or leave.

    Fernandes has already worn the Red Devils’ armband on numerous occasions in the past.

    The Portugal international has scored 64 goals and registered 54 assists in just 185 games for Man United since joining in 2020.

    Following the heated argument that ensued between Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro after their 1-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, Manchester United coach has backed both players for their actions.

    However, Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has insisted that he saw “no problem” with both players having heated argument.

    Casemiro appeared to be lambasting his team-mate before Harry Maguire came over to intervene.

    Both players have previously been caught on camera arguing on the pitch, most recently after winning the Carabao Cup at Wembley.

    But speaking to United’s official website, Ten Hag has said he encourages his players to confront each other.

    “Yes, of course [I encourage them]. They have to communicate. They have to organise it and make sure we get a win.

    “So when they are talking to each other, in discussion, debating with each other, I don’t have a problem with that,” Ten Hag said.

    Portugal vs Uruguay: Portuguese FA appeals to FIFA to credit Ronaldo with Bruno’s goal

    The Portuguese Football  Federation has appealed to Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) to award Portugal’s first goal against Uruguay to Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Bruno Fernandes sent in a cross that splashed through Ronaldo’s head and he thought he had scored but the goal was credited to Bruno during the match with Uruguay.

    FIFA, however, thought otherwise and gave the goal to Fernandes with football’s world governing body writing:

    “In the match between Portugal and Uruguay, using the Connected Ball Technology housed in adidas’s Al Rihla Official Match Ball, we are able to definitively show no contact on the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo for the opening goal in the game.

    Ronaldo scored Portugal’s first goal at the Mundial last week in their group H encounter with Ghana.

    However, Fernandez has said he wasn’t bothered with who’s credited with the goal, saying the three points was what matters to him.
