Fernandes Rejects Second Man United Contract Offer

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a second contract offer from the club, with his current deal due to expire at the end of the season.

The club’s first proposal was made in the summer when talks first began over a new contract, but it was turned down by Fernandes, according to Sky Sports.

United hold an option to extend the 32-year-old’s stay at Old Trafford for a further year and also prevent him from speaking to foreign clubs in January over the possibility of a free transfer.

Last season, Fernandes was the subject of interest from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.

Talks are expected to continue between Fernandes and United, with the club making it clear they want their captain to remain at Old Trafford.
