Manchester United have yet to reach an agreement with Bruno Fernandes over a contract extension, but the club remain confident the situation can be resolved, according to Goal, citing The Sun.
The Manchester club have an option to extend the Portugal midfielder’s current deal by a further year, taking it through to the end of the 2027/2028 season.
United plan to activate that clause, while stressing that doing so would give them additional time to continue negotiations with Fernandes over a new contract.
There is no concern within the club about the current impasse, with players turning down initial offers viewed as a normal part of contract discussions.
Fernandes has made 341 appearances for Manchester United since joining the club. The Portugal international has scored 113 goals and provided 111 assists in those matches.
