Bruno Fernandes 'is closing in on signing a huge new five-year contract extension at Manchester United' - with the superstar also 'set for a hefty pay rise which will see him earn over £12MILLION a year'

Manchester United are close to tying down talisman Bruno Fernandes to a new contract, according to reports in Portugal, with the playmaker set for a pay rise.

Fernandes quickly became one of the club's most important players after arriving from Sporting Lisbon in 2020, and he has scored 49 goals in 117 appearances.

As a result, the Red Devils have moved to tie down the attacking midfielder to fresh terms, with the new deal set to see his wages increased to match his crucial status.
