Bruno Fernandes: Kohler United welcome player to Man United
Manchester United have completed the signing of Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon. The 25-year-old has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract until June 2025, with the option of a further 12-month extension.
United will pay an initial £46.6million, with a further £8.5million dependent on Champions League qualification and appearances by the player.
The final bill could rise by a further £12.7million based on a number of further clauses based on Fernandes' achievements over the long term including winning the Ballon D’Or.
It’s believed the Portuguese midfielder will earn £70,000 per-week at Old Trafford with various performance-related bonuses to boot.

They may have been given the biggest hint yet, however, from United shirt sleeve sponsor Kohler, who released a video upon Fernandes' move to the club.
The video shows a United shirt hanging on the wall with his name on the back before cutting away just as a double-digit number is shown.
