Bruno Fernandes is stalling on new contract talks with Manchester United.

The Sun says he has demanded assurances about Manchester United's plans before he commits to a new long-term deal.

United have approached Fernandes about a double-your-money £200,000-a-week five-year contract.

But the 26-year-old Portuguese playmaker has asked about the club's intentions in the transfer market.

Last week United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer warned fans to forget about a big summer spending spree due to the financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, Fernandes wants to know there is a commitment in the boardroom to do what it takes to get the Red Devils back to the top at home and in Europe.

The former Sporting Lisbon midfielder has had a huge impact since his £55million move in January last year.

But he is one of the lowest paid of the regular first-team stars, having signed a £100,000-a-week 5½-year deal, which has the option of a further 12 months.
