Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United’s captain, has disclosed that he asked senior Premier League officials to get involved in the transfer market before signing a new deal.
The 29-year-old put pen to paper on fresh terms with the Red Devils last week.
This came after speculations with the Portugal playmaker with a move away from Old Trafford.
While negotiations were going on, Fernandes made it clear to United co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co that he expects the club to strengthen in order to compete with the very best teams.
Speaking to Manutd.com, Fernandes said: “The club knew that I wanted to compete with the best teams.
“They knew that we needed to improve the team. And I think that we’re doing that.”
