I’m replacing an old bathroom fan/light and not sure on wiring because the new one is different.

Currently it is controlled with two switches, one light one fan. The power running into it consists of Ground , neutral-white, black, and red.

Old light/fan fixture has black and white coming out of light, black and white coming out of fan.

New light/fan fixture has black and white coming out of light,
and black ,white AND RED, coming out of fan.

How do I wire this correctly?
 
TL;DR
Replacing fan/light combo. New fixture has five wires, old one has four. Where does the extra wire get tied to?
