Fernandes rejects second Man Utd contract offer
Premier League · Contract talks
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a second contract offer, with his current deal due to expire at the end of the season.
United's first proposal, made in the summer when negotiations began, was also turned down by Fernandes. Talks are expected to continue, with the club making clear they want their captain to remain at Old Trafford.
Last season, the 32-year-old attracted interest from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
Fernandes was named PFA Player of the Year in August after recording 21 assists last season to break a Premier League record.
Pochettino arrival expected
Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be announced as United's new head coach on Friday after Michael Carrick was sacked on Thursday.
Fernandes came close to joining the Argentine at Tottenham in the summer of 2019. He admitted later that year that Sporting had blocked the move.
