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.
