Bruno Fernandes 'will sign new Manchester United deal if Paul Pogba stays'

Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes is willing to pen a new deal at the club if Paul Pogba also commits his future to the Red Devils, according to a report.

Fernandes only joined United last year and has a contract until the 2024-25 season, but United supposedly want to reward his performances with a double-your-money deal up to £200k per week.

Meanwhile, Pogba's existing deal will expire in less than 18 months' time, and if he refuses to sign a new contract at Old Trafford, United are expected to offload him this summer in order to recoup a fee.

Pogba is supposedly after a £500k-a-week deal to stay in Manchester, and according to The Sun, Fernandes will only agree to a new contract if his fellow midfielder does the same.

The report adds that Fernandes views Pogba as an integral cog in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's system as they aim to mount a title charge next season, with the Frenchman scoring five goals and setting up seven more across all tournaments this season.

Fernandes, meanwhile, boasts 24 goals and 14 assists for Solskjaer's side this season, but the Red Devils sit 11 points behind Manchester City in the Premier League table with a game in hand.
