Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes' name is constantly mentioned in transfer windows, including this one, amid speculation linking him with an exit.

According to the Daily Mail, the Red Devils have initiated discussions over a contract extension for the midfielder to end talk of an exit from Old Trafford

The 31-year-old, who earns £220,000 per week, is in the final 10 months of his contract with the club, but they have the option to extend his deal by 12 months.

Manchester United are keen to negotiate fresh terms with the Portugal international, whose hat-trick and assist inspired them to a first victory of the 2026-27 Premier League season against Ipswich Town on Sunday.

An agreement on terms is not imminent, as contacts have only just begun between the club and Fernandes' representatives, but it is hoped that talks can be concluded before the new year.
