Manchester United fans have taken to Twitter to express their feelings after the club announced that Bruno Fernandes has been given a new, long-term contract.

The Portugal star has contributed 49 goals and 39 assists in just 117 games since joining United in January 2020.

Fernandes has not been as prolific this season, but he remains one of the key players. It will be interesting to see if his form picks up next season under a new manager.

Best player in the squad. People on twitter need to put respect on his name. He contributes more than anybody. And if you honestly say warra trophy or something like that, you literally have no clue about football
