Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a second offer of a new contract from the Premier League club.

According to The Athletic, the Portugal international turned down the latest proposal after rejecting an earlier offer from the club in the summer.

Fernandes, whose current contract expires in June 2027, is yet to reach an agreement with United over fresh terms.

The midfielder is reportedly unhappy with aspects of the proposed deal, particularly its duration and salary.

The 32-year-old was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia last summer but opted to remain at Old Trafford despite interest from Al-Hilal.

United are keen to retain their captain and are expected to continue negotiations with his representatives.

The development comes amid changes in the club’s technical department following the dismissal of Michael Carrick as manager on Thursday.

Mauricio Pochettino is expected to take over as United’s new head coach, with convincing Fernandes to commit his future to the club potentially among his early challenges.

Fernandes was named PFA Player of the Year in August after recording 21 assists in the Premier League last season.
