Manchester United are set to offer Bruno Fernandes a new deal that will double his wages in order to fend off interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid, according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-bruno-fernandes-contract-23120849" target="_blank">Mirror.</a> The 26-year-old has excelled for the Red Devils since joining from Sporting in January, scoring&nbsp;22 goals and registering 14 assists in just 37 appearances. That sparkling form has attracted the interest of Real and Barca, though United hope the offer of fresh terms, worth around £200,000 a week, will be enough to keep the Portugal international at Old Trafford.
