Fernandes Rejects Man Utd Contract Offer
14 Nov
Summary
- Bruno Fernandes has rejected the club's second contract proposal.
- Manchester United can extend his contract by 12 months.
- New coach Pochettino's arrival might influence Fernandes' decision.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a second contract offer from the club. The midfielder's current deal is set to expire at the end of the season, though United possesses a 12-month extension option. This move comes amid significant club upheaval, including the recent sacking of head coach Michael Carrick.
New coach Mauricio Pochettino is expected to take charge soon, and his arrival might persuade Fernandes to commit his future. Fernandes previously neared a move to Pochettino's Tottenham in 2019 before joining United. He has scored six goals in 13 appearances this season.
Both Fernandes and United have reasons for caution. Fernandes seeks to compete for major honors, wanting to see Pochettino's impact before committing. United, meanwhile, noted a drop in Fernandes' performance compared to last season and are wary of a significant financial commitment to an underperforming player, referencing Liverpool's situation with Mohamed Salah.
