Manchester United ready to make Bruno Fernandes the most expensive united player after Euro 2024
According to Football Insider, Manchester United will enter contract negotiations with midfielder Bruno Fernandes after the European Championship this summer.
The Man United midfielder is the most consistent performer of the team since joining the club.
He has inspired the team in difficult situations and when most of the other players have shown poor form, Fernandes has performed well and saved Man United on numerous occasions.
Although Fernandes’ contract with United expires in the summer of 2026 and the club has an option to extend it for one more year, it is believed that he will want improved terms that adequately acknowledge his value to the club.
The Portugal international want the club to improve with their performance and their recruitment.
Fernandes wants the Red Devils to match his ambitions and challenge for trophies.
After failing in the Premier League and the Champions League, Man United salvaged their season with a win in the FA Cup.
But the best players want the biggest trophies and Fernandes wants the team to challenge the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid on the bigger stage.
Since joining from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, he has been the most reliable player.
He put up impressive performances on a struggling team that placed eighth in the league last season.
Fernandes wants Man United to match his ambitions
Fernandes would be hoping that the club strengthen the team in the transfer window this summer and offer manager Erik ten Hag and the players the best resources to take the club to the next level.
After the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS at the club, there is some hope of a better future with United expected to bring in a number of quality players to the club this summer.
If Fernandes can get more support behind and in front of him, the club can regularly challenge for the biggest honours in football.
Former Mexico striker Cuauhtémoc Blanco has insisted he would have shone at a club like Manchester United if he’d been given the chance.
He’s been speaking on the Faitelson Sin Censura programme, relayed by Medio Tempo, about his career and that of Chicharito Hernández.
Hernández is currently winding down his career in his native Mexico with Chivas, after a successful period in Europe and America, playing for the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham, Sevilla and LA Galaxy.
His first move outside of his homeland saw him joining Manchester United for €7.5m in 2010 and was undoubtedly a success, with him managing 59 goals and 18 assists in 157 games for the club, largely playing as a substitute.
He enjoyed good goalscoring records elsewhere too, managing 39 goals in 83 games for LA Galaxy, 38 goals in 76 games for Leverkusen and 17 in 63 for West Ham.
None of those spells were as successful as his time at Manchester United, though, which established his name in Europe and made him something of a Mexican icon.
There’s plenty who are envious of that fact and it seems Blanco is one of them, insisting he could have shone in Europe too if a club like Manchester United had given him a shot.
