Manchester United players support new contract for Bruno Fernandes
Summary

Manchester United drew 2-2 with Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on September 6.

Benjamin Sesko briefly restored the lead for the hosts before Ainsley Maitland-Niles secured the draw for United in stoppage time. Amid the ongoing campaign, reports indicate the United squad believes captain Bruno Fernandes deserves a new contract that would make him the club's highest-paid player. Fernandes, who is in the final year of his current deal, is reportedly earning £300,000 per week. Meanwhile, the squad has expressed satisfaction with the performance and attitude of Marcus Rashford, who returned to the team this summer following his loan spell at Barcelona.
