Although Fernandes scored nine goals in 27 Premier League appearances this season, the 27-year-old has not been able to replicate his form from last season which saw him score 18 league goals.
Merson remarked on the circumstances of the new contract given out. He suggested it summed up where Man United is currently as a club. The former Arsenal midfielder doesn't understand why they'd give out such a big deal before appointing the first team manager. "Bruno Fernandes' contract situation is an interesting one and pretty much sums up where Manchester United are as a club at the moment," Merson told Sportskeeda.
"I'm not saying he's a bad player by any stretch of the imagination, but how can they give someone a five-year contract when they haven't even got a permanent manager?
"What if a new manager comes in and doesn't quite fancy Fernandes, because there's every chance coaches won't like the way he throws his hands up in frustration or his style of play."
