- Fernandes claims that the captain is confused and frustrated following
- Bournemouth's collapse and believes that United can defeat Bayern.
Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, has expressed regret for his unsatisfactory performance against Bournemouth, which lacked the necessary vigor, effort, and quality.
After a strong first season in charge, Erik ten Hag won the Carabao Cup, but his second season has been nothing but highs and lows. On Saturday, Bournemouth triumphed at Old Trafford for the first time, and United's season came to an end. The hosts were lucky to only lose 3-0.
After United's stunning collapse from last Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Chelsea, Ten Hag became so frustrated that he had to concede that his team isn't good enough to play at a high level all the time.
Fernandes stated, "[I want] to apologize for the performance." "It was unacceptable, beginning with me. I am not referring to any other person. However, I believe that everyone in the dressing room understands that we need to improve our performance significantly because it was [not] at our level. It was not as aggressive as we were in the previous game against Chelsea, and it was underperforming in terms of effort and quality. You won't win the game if you don't perform your duties.
During a difficult season in which United has lost 11 of its 23 games across all competitions, similar statements and justifications have been made. Although they have won eleven games and drawn the other, Ten Hag and his team are under increasing pressure due to the staggering amount of losses.
Fernandes told MUTV, "I don't know [why it was so different to Chelsea], but it's been like [this] consistently." "We don't play as well the next game as we did the last one when we win. I'm not sure if it's due to a lack of focus or concentration, but we need to be conscious of the fact that we need to develop the consistency of winning games after we win one. Even in instances where we perform below par but still achieve the desired outcome.
In order to avoid going into meltdown at the end of a pivotal week, United must now reset and adopt the proper mindset. First up is Ten Hag's team's crucial Champions League match against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.Only a victory over Copenhagen or a draw in the other Group A match between Galatasaray and Copenhagen would allow them to advance. After picking up his fifth booking of the year against Bournemouth, Fernandes will miss the following Sunday's Premier League trip to Liverpool.
Fernandes remarked, "Obviously, it's good [that we play soon]." It goes without saying that we are aware of how difficult the upcoming game will be. We must prevail and, of course, hope for a favorable outcome in the other game. However, we must prioritize our work, and it will be difficult for us to think and comprehend that. However, we are more than capable of achieving the desired outcome. Click Here
While United's issues are examined in great detail, conditions on the south coast are considerably better. Since taking over in the summer, Bournemouth has seen an incredible turnaround under the leadership of Andoni Iraola.
The seasoned right-back Adam Smith responded to a question about the victory's ranking in the team's recent history on BBC Radio Solent, saying, "I'd say it's No 1." We had never prevailed here, after all, this is the Theatre of Dreams. We suffered at times, and it was difficult. However, Manchester United was the opponent. The guys will probably remember it for a very long time. We maintained a spotless record, and the score might have been 4-0. For the fans, it was incredible.
