He is a good replacement who has been very consistent. He scores a lot of goals and assists. We need him now to replace Bruno Fernandes who has been very poor lately”-Manchester United United has confirmed that the England international has accepted to join Rúben Amorim and play as a No. 10 as Bruno Fernandes leaves.

Bruno Fernandes’ candid remarks following Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool have garnered widespread attention, with fans applauding his honesty and leadership.

United’s recent struggles were highlighted by a 4-0 defeat to Newcastle on December 30, marking their fourth straight loss. Many fans feared the worst as they prepared to face league leaders Liverpool at Anfield. However, the team delivered a much-improved display, earning a hard-fought draw against Arne Slot’s in-form side.

United took an early lead through Lisandro Martinez’s stunning strike, but Liverpool responded with goals from Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah. Amad Diallo’s equalizer salvaged a point, showcasing a level of effort and determination rarely seen under manager Ruben Amorim this season.

The draw moved United up to 13th place in the standings, narrowly ahead of West Ham on goal difference, and kept them seven points clear of the relegation zone.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Fernandes didn’t shy away from addressing United’s inconsistency. He admitted his disappointment in the team’s inability to sustain this level of performance throughout the season and took responsibility for his own recent form.

“We deserve criticism because our position in the table says it all,” Fernandes admitted. “We’ve dropped far too many points. Even today, a draw isn’t enough for us. We need points more urgently than our opponents.

“While it was a fair result and both teams played high-quality, intense football, I’m frustrated. If we can perform like this against Liverpool, the league leaders, why can’t we replicate it every week?

“I’m also disappointed in myself. It felt like today was one of the few times I’ve played to my potential lately. As a team, we need to set higher standards and play with pride because what we’ve shown so far is far from acceptable.”

United now turn their focus to an FA Cup third-round clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, hoping to defend the title they claimed last season by defeating Manchester City in the final.

Fernandes’ post-match reflections have resonated deeply with supporters, highlighting his understanding of the team’s challenges and his willingness to hold himself accountable. His call for consistency and pride in performances may prove pivotal as United looks to reignite their season.

With standout performances from players like Martinez and Diallo offering glimpses of hope, the clash against Arsenal presents a crucial chance to build on this improved display. United’s response could shape the remainder of a t

umultuous campaign.
