In a recent interview, Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes stated his desire to remain at Manchester United for a long time.
In January 2020, he made the switch from Sporting Lisbon to United, and he rapidly established himself as a key player. He is a leader in the dressing room and his impact is there to see on the field.
Erik ten Hag gave the Portuguese the captain’s armband when Harry Maguire was substituted. And now, Fernandes has expressed his desire to remain at United in an interview with the club’s official website. The 28-year-old is eager to commit to United for as long as possible.
He said:
“I want to be here for many years. I want to have some stability for my family. We like to be here, we like to be in this country, we want to have the family established here and the kids growing up here, having their friends, being happy. That’s the most important thing for us.”
These words would be music in the fan’s ears as the two times Sir Matt Busby award winner has been a vital player for the Red Devils. The 28-year-old has 50 goals and 40 assists in 134 games for the Red Devils in all competitions. This demonstrates how effective he has been since joining the team, despite United’s difficulties.

He has an impact on games by actively participating in goals and encouraging his teammates to step up. The club did a fantastic job of renewing its contract in March of this year.
Due to Maguire’s absence from the squad due to injury, Fernandes will serve as the team’s captain tomorrow against bitter rival Manchester City. He will play a big part in how United approaches the game against an in-form Man City.
