The Portuguese midfielder is now committed to the club until June 2026 with an option of extending the deal for a further season.

“From the moment that I joined Manchester United, I have had a special relationship with the club and our amazing fans,” the 27-year-old said upon the announcement.

“I grew up watching this team, dreaming of getting the chance to play here one day. That dream is now a reality and an honour.

“Even after two years, it still feels amazing to step out at Old Trafford, to hear the fans sing my song and to score in front of the Stretford End. It is a true privilege to wear this shirt and to fight for our incredible club.

“There is so much more that I want to achieve here, and I know that is the same for the rest of the squad and staff. More than anything, we want to give the fans the success that they deserve.

“We have shared some great moments over the last years, but the best is yet to come from myself and this team.”

According to the Telegraph, the 27-year-old will now be earning a salary of about £240,000-a-week, bringing him in line with the club's top earners.

Bruno Fernandes joined Man United in January 2020. Since then, he has registered 49 goals and 39 assists in just 117 games for the Red Devils, winning the club's Player of the Year award twice.
