Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has rejected a second contract offer from the club, with his current deal due to expire at the end of the season.
The club's first proposal was made in the summer when talks first began over a new contract but it was turned down by Fernandes.
United hold an option to extend the 32-year-old's stay at Old Trafford for a further year and also prevent him from speaking to foreign clubs in January over the possibilities of a free transfer. Last season he was the subject of interest from Saudi club Al Hilal.
Talks are expected to continue, with United making clear they want their captain to remain at the club.
Fernandes was named PFA Player of the Year in August after he hit 21 assists last season to break a Premier League record.
With Mauricio Pochettino expected to be announced as United's new head coach on Friday - Fernandes admitted in 2019 he almost signed for the Argentinian that summer when he was at Spurs but the move was blocked by Sporting Lisbon at the time.

United fans should give bruno his space instead of abusing him, the guy has fought for the badge since he came here untill the board and the owners lets us down, he has a right to leave and i support him to go somewhere else bcoz his potential is being destroyed at united

I feel for Bruno. He stayed loyal to the club all these years, but the situation there with owners who refuse to invest in the club has made one of the best players in the EPL remain without a major trophy. Another annoying expect his the attitude shown towards him by some ex-United players and some silly fans. Imagine having the highest assist in the history of the EPL without the trophy to show for it. If he has left earlier to a club where in could win trophies, I'm sure all these wankers won't have a thing to say about him.
