How much does Bruno Fernandes earn at Manchester United?
By Kian Long
Manchester United have a reputation of overpaying their players. Not only do they have to pay the infamous "Man United tax" when it comes to signing new players since clubs will charge them a premium, they also find themselves in a tough predicament of being expected to cough up more to the player in terms of wages.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes is arguably the player who warrants the highest player wages at the club, in an ideal and organised world. The Portugal international has been with the club since 2020 and has been Man United's best player since. In 2023, Bruno Fernandes was named club captain, replacing Harry Maguire. Therefore, he has greater responsibility than any other Man United player.
