Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is pushing for a new contract and wants to become one of the highest earners at the club, according to reports.
Portuguese playmaker Fernandes is out of contract in 2026 with the option to extend until 2027.
He has been the Red Devils best player since joining the club from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, guiding the club to glory in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
Fernandes is a massively important player but there have been a lot of rumours about his long-term future at Old Trafford.
The 29-year-old is not deemed untouchable so a summer move has not been ruled out.

There is reportedly interest coming from Bayern Munich, while Barcelona have also been linked.
The latter will likely struggle to pay what want for their captain, while his wage demands should also exceed what the Catalan giants can afford.
Bruno Fernandes feels undervalued at Man Utd, could seek Bayern transfer
Writing on X, that Barcelona cannot afford him , while Bayern are not interested, with rumours likely to be a ploy for Fernandes to receive a new contract at Old Trafford.
This certainly makes a lot of sense and while claims that Bayern are keen, they also say that Fernandes who earns £220,000 per week feels undervalued and wants a new contract that would take him into the top pay bracket at the club, with Marcus Rashford on £365k a week.
It is claimed that the Portugal midfielder wants clarity regarding the manager and the club’s long-term vision before deciding whether to seek a transfer .
Fernandes is viewed as the best player at Man Utd with new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe not actively looking to sell but is aware that he needs to bring in funds and reduce the wage bill if he wants to improve the squad.
This means Ratcliffe would be open to selling his captain if a realistic offer is made, with the player s agent in discussions with potential suitors .
Not only does Fernandes feel undervalued , but he is also unsure about the direction of the club amidst uncertainty surrounding the future of manager Erik ten Hag. If the Dutchman is sacked, the player would want to know who his replacement will be.
