Bruno Fernandes has put negotiations over a lucrative new contract at Manchester United on hold as the Portuguese star waits to see the direction the team is heading in.
Fernandes, who is believed to earn around £100,000-a-week at Old Trafford, is seeking parity with the club's biggest earners in his new deal to reflect his importance to the side.
Cristiano Ronaldo is United's largest earner, on over £400,000-a-week, and goalkeeper David de Gea isn't far behind on £375,000-a-week.

At least eight players are thought to earn more than Fernandes, including captain Harry Maguire, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Raphael Varane and Edinson Cavani.
