'Our best player': Manchester United fans react to Bruno Fernandes contract extension latest

Manchester United fans are split after reports of a contract extension for Bruno Fernandes surfaced on Thursday.

The Portuguese has been in negotiations with the club for some time, despite his current deal running until 2025. Reports on Thursday surfaced which suggested a breakthrough in talks had been reached and an agreement was imminent.

There were reports earlier in the season which suggested Fernandes had put talks on ice until the season had ended, ramping up the uncertainty which hangs over Old Trafford. The club are also taking steps to secure a new permanent manager with - as Manchester Evening News reported in the week - Erik ten Hag being interviewed for the vacant position.
