However, Fernandes remains unsatisfied with the terms currently on the table, meaning further discussions between both parties are expected as Manchester United look to reach an agreement with their influential captain.
Manchester United are keen to secure Fernandes’ long-term future, given his importance to the team and his leadership role since taking over the captaincy. The Portuguese midfielder remains one of the club’s most influential players, and losing him would represent a significant setback to their plans.
There is no indication that negotiations have completely broken down. Both sides are expected to continue discussions, with United potentially having to improve their offer further if they are to convince Fernandes to put pen to paper on a new contract.
