Bruno Fernandes, unhappy with his annual salary, turned down a new contract offered by Manchester United, with the two sides due to resume talks in May, according to the Mirror.
Fernandes has been one of United's core players since moving from Sporting Portugal to Manchester United in January 2020, scoring 33 goals and giving 22 assists for United after scoring twice against Villa. It is worth emphasizing that since completing his Manchester United debut, Fernandez has only missed 2 Premier League games.
Despite being the core player of the team, Fernandez earns just £100,000 a week, far less than his many team-mates. Among United players, Cristiano Ronaldo has the highest weekly salary, reaching £400,000, which means that his weekly salary is four times that of Fernandez.
In addition, De Gea's weekly salary reached 375,000 pounds, Pogba, Varane, Martial, Sancho, Cavani and Rashford all earned more than 200,000 pounds a week, and Maguire and Luka Shaw's weekly salary was nearly twice that of Fernandez.
Fernandez's contract with Manchester United is signed until June 2025, and although there are still nearly 4 years left, Manchester United hope to renew the contract with the Portuguese as soon as possible. After Fernandez's agent turned down a contract offered by Manchester United in early January, the two sides will continue negotiations in May.
According to the Mirror, Manchester United postponed the renewal negotiations until May, because the club will know if they can get tickets to next season's Champions League. In this negotiation, Fernandez hopes that his weekly salary can be greatly increased, and even hopes to get a maximum salary.
