No, just no. As much as I want him to stay but giving him a massive contract on 300-350k/week would be suicidal especially at his age. How can you then stop any player asking the same who performs on a decent to good level for us? It’s a loop we have to break.
We don't need to sell. If his agent thinks that he deserve WC salary then we deserve WC transfer fee for Bruno. 120m or stay.
We need to start being more ruthless. Bruno has two more years left and we have an option for another year. We'd be better off selling him at 31 for 20-30m in two years after activating the option than handing him a 300-350k/week new contract at 29. In the meantime, if that's his market value, someone will come in with a contract offer for him and a fee for us that's commensurate. Right, Bruno? If not, let's get his last couple of elite years out of him at his current wage.
We can just give him more money without extending his contract. Everyone wins. He deserves 50k a week raise.
Why? How would the club win in that scenario?
Out of everyone of those names in the top pay bracket he’s the only one that comes close to deserving it. He’s also at the wrong age for a bumper contract though.
Bruno looks after himself. He’s worth the new deal. He’s the only one at the club actually worth that kind of money and everyone is squabbling over it in typical Utd fashion
He signed an improved deal two years ago, his original United contract ran until 2025.
Current one has 3 years to run or another team can pay £100m

None of them are worth anything like that kind of money while we're performing like a bottom half side.
This. The club is under zero pressure to sell or renew his contract. Giving him an improved contract right now would be an extremely Woodward-esque move.
After this window that pay bracket likely won't exist, we shouldn't be recreating it with his contract extension.
Completely agree - it's time to stop throwing so much money away and make players think they can put their feet up.
Also it will make some easier to shift when required if all new contracts are more in line with other clubs.
Bruno should be the top paid United player, but make sure increased wage is depending on player as well as teams performance
I would like to see this signing on board if there's significant wiggle room with negotiations.
That's Mainoo and Neves in central midfield which is a statement from INEOS about pioneering the club's future towards youth.
Would be incredible but doubt we are spending anywhere near that price for a player this window. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t end up at City.
What? 8th place finish sides top earner barely will earn 50k, never mind adding 50k to the 200k he already gets.Tweet: 'no plans to negotiate release clause'
Redstain: 'we should do it if there's significant wiggle room for negotiations'
Did you just not read it or?
We must get rid of Sancho and Casemiro. Only then would I even entertain a discussion with Bruno.
Keep a player happy, from which a lot of things depend in the club. We will release/sell players whose salaries amount to almost $2.000.000 a week, so 50k per week to your start player does not seem like a lot.
I agree, but it's not Bruno's fault that none of the players in defense can stay fit. He has been our best player since he signed for the club, and he has a plethora of players paid more than him. I don't mind him getting more.
Couldn't agree more. Bruno deserves it!
These costs add up though, and our finances are not in great shape.
This argument is effectively no different from the "just pay up, it's not my money" posts that get made every summer. And that's how we ended up in this position.
Bruno has 2+1 years left. There is no need to do anything. The club holds all the cards.
This incredible way of over-emphasising how bad we actually are to wallow in self pity is beyond boring.
We had a shit season but we didn't perform like an Everton for christ sakes.
We did though. Our underlying metrics were all in line with those of a lower midtable side.
The statistics comfortably back it up, but yeah if you say so.
You're right, we performed worse than Everton https://understat.com/league/EPL/2023
It's bizarre like people watched a different team to some of us.
Everton were better in all honesty, we just have better players to produce moments.
Sancho is paid more than him.
rashford
Casemiro
all paid more than Bruno. If we’re selling all three players to stop the massive wages and contract nonsense then fair enough. But while he’s here and he’s the captain he should be the highest paid or thereabouts.
He is our best and most important player.
Yes he is. But we're not a charity. He has a contract that he voluntarily signed, with 2+1 years left to run, and we have no reason to alter those terms.
Everybody calling for us to hike his wages is making emotional arguments. Why is it in the club's interest to give him an improved contract?
Casemiro and Sancho should be gone and that tier of wage needs to be eliminated not added to.
hope INEOS tells Bruno that no new contract negotiations will be entertained at this stage, they can tell him he is an important player and the club captain and his current deal is good enough, or else, his agent needs to find a buyer who will pay a transfer fee that is acceptable for a player of his stature.
This is exactly how we should handle this, and put a £100m valuation on him, only a team from SA will pay the transfer fee and his wages of £20m per year for 5 years.
Tell him give us one more year then he can go get a huge deal in Saudi Next year at 30/31.
We played worse in parts
Yup. This is exactly how it should be handled.
Tier 3:
If Sesko chooses Utd or Chelsea over Arsenal he's an idiot
