After securing a late winner against Fulham, Manchester United captain, Bruno Fernandes says the squad must focus on winning every single game.
On an afternoon that was largely frustrating for the Red Devils, the Portuguese scored in added time to help his side pick all three points and return to winning ways.
“Everyone knows the situation is not the best, we lost the last two games and the performances weren’t too good,” Fernandes reflected on their recent performances.
“Today it was a different game and we had to deliver something different and we got the three points which is the most important thing. Today is about the team and what everyone does on the pitch.
“It was a game where everyone sacrificed and everyone ran, worked harder and even the goal you could see the reaction of the players trying to get the ball around the box.
“It was a good performance and maybe we could have created more chances but we did still create a lot.
“We have to understand that we can still do better and can deliver much more.
“I think the team understands now that it is about getting results and winning every time we play.”
Before Fernandes scored, United thought they had gone ahead early on in the game when Scott McTominay scored from close range, but that goal got ruled out by FAR for offside.
Fernandes’ winner aside, goalkeeper Ander Onana was also instrumental as he made two smart saves in the second half to deny Fulham from breaking the deadlock.
The victory ases pressure on manager Erik Ten Hag, who had seen his side lose two consecutive games 3-0 to Manchester City and Newcastle in the past seven days.
Next up for United will be a challenging away game against FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. It’s a crucial match for the Red Devils, as they currently find themselves in third place in Group A with just three points from as many games.
