Pochettino set for two-and-a-half-year Manchester United deal as Fernandes rejects second offer

Pochettino is set to sign a two-and-a-half-year deal with Manchester United, and Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a second contract offer at Old Trafford, the Guardian's football live blog reported on 13 November 2026.

The club said they are confident of getting the midfielder to commit his future to Old Trafford.

The 32-year-old's current contract runs until the end of the season and United hold an option to trigger a further year; if that clause is not used, Fernandes would be allowed to speak to clubs abroad in January.

He has previously attracted interest from Saudi Arabia and Galatasaray but chose to stay.
