Bruno Fernandes has renewed his contract with Manchester United until 2027, on Wednesday. This means he can stay at the English club for seven years, having arrived in January 2020 from Sporting.
Speaking to ESPN, the Portugal international midfielder acknowledged the (widely reported) interest in him and spoke of “concrete proposals.” There has long been talk of Bruno potentially playing in Saudi Arabia.
“You came close to me [por outras equipas]The club knew there was a possibility that I could leave, and I had concrete proposals. But the club showed that they needed me, that they were going through a period of change and that they wanted to do things differently. I think there is a dream future for this club with the changes that are happening. My choice to stay comes from there. He explained: “There were other directions that could have been interesting for me, that would have been another type of prospect.”
“But I feel good here, I feel wanted and I feel that the club has respected me very much. It was a very family choice, because my family feels very good here, we feel at home. I think there is nothing better than feeling at home, especially if we are appreciated by the club, the fans and our team-mates. It is something that is difficult to achieve in football. I think I have been able to achieve it so far and I think I still have a lot to give to this club. “Despite everything the club has done for me and made me become, I think I can still give more,” the Portugal international added.
Bruno Fernandes cost the club €65 million in January 2020. Since then, he has played 234 games for Manchester United, scoring 79 goals and providing 67 more for his teammates.
