Manchester United have reportedly opened talks with Bruno Fernandes over a new contract just ten months after he moved to the Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old has been stunning for the Red Devils since his arrival, as he has scored 29 goals, provided 20 assists in his 54 played matches.
And according to
The Athletic, United quickly recognised what an asset they had acquired and have already been negotiating for three months a new contract even though the Portuguese midfielder is already contracted to the club for five more years.
"The speed at which talks began over a new contract is startling," The Athletic claims.
"Sources say the subject was first broached by United in November, just 10 months into a deal that does not expire until 2025 and contains an option for a further year.
"Such has been the impact of the “Portuguese Magnifico”, a recalibration of his worth to the club quickly became necessary.
"Fernandes joined on a salary worth around £100,000 per week, which was double his pay packet at Sporting but middling when it comes to a club as wealthy as United. Several team-mates earn higher wages, with David de Gea topping the list at more than £375,000 per week."
