Bruno Fernandes' contract extension has divided Manchester United fans, according to reports that emerged on Thursday.

Despite the fact that his current contract with the club expires in 2025, the Portuguese international has been in talks with the club for some time. On Thursday, reports circulated claiming that a breakthrough had been achieved in negotiations and that an agreement was on the horizon.

It was reported earlier in the season that Fernandes had put talks on hold until after the season ended, which added to the sense of unease at Old Trafford. Also this week, the Manchester Evening News reported that Erik ten Hag has been interviewed for the vacant managerial role at the club. The club is also in the process of finding a new permanent manager.

In the absence of a long-term manager, some Reds supporters have questioned why United is providing new contracts to players. Those who support him, on the other hand, are delighted to see a player who has scored nine goals and provided 14 assists this season willing to commit his long-term career to United.
