Almost universally popular among United fans, Fernandes will stay at the club until he is 32 years of age, with the option of staying one year further.
It means the Portuguese magnifico is pledging the rest of his peak footballing years to the Old Trafford outfit.
There had been reports at the start of the summer than the Porto-born star was unsettled and looking for a transfer.
However, Bruno himself quickly quashed the rumours and has not hesitated to sign the new deal, which will put him among the club’s top earners.
He is currently the fifth top, on £240,000 per week, which is £10,000 behind Jadon Sancho and Mason Mount, £60,000 behind Marcus Rashford and £90,000 behind Casemiro (source: capology.com).
What is interesting about the deal is that it is for just three years plus one and moves away from the tendency United have exhibited in the past to offer five year plus one deals to older players.
This has been seen to backfire, for example in the case of Casemiro, who at 32 years of age still has two years left on his lucrative deal. This is making the Brazilian almost impossible to move on, should United want to.
