Bruno Fernandes wants a turnaround this time at Manchester United

Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes, is hoping for a turnaround in Manchester United’s fortunes following the dramatic 4-3 win over Liverpool.

Manchester United defeated Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, with Amad Diallo’s late goal in extra time sealing the victory for United.

For Bruno Fernandes, he hopes this will be a spark to end the season on a high for Manchester United.

He said: “The game got a little bit spicy, a little more special because it’s an FA Cup game and if you lose, you’re out.

“We know the rivalry between fans, we know how United fans wanted us to win the game to give us something to celebrate because it’s not been great for us.

“We’ve talked about turnarounds but have never done the next step. But I think we have to understand the FA Cup is a thing and the Premier League is another one.

“In the league now, we have 10 matches to go and we don’t depend on ourselves, but as we saw yesterday, Tottenham lost points to Fulham, and today [Aston] Villa lost points to West Ham.”

Fernandes also hopes United can make a push for next season’s Champions League, with five places potentially on offer from the Premier League depending on England’s UEFA coefficient.

“But our main goal is to not lose points to Brentford away, so when we get back, we need to put our effort into winning that game. Our focus will be on winning that game. We need to win every game we have ahead to have belief we can get into those [Champions League] spots,” he said.

“Tottenham is now level with us in games. Villa have a game ahead of us, so we can get closer. But as I said, I want us to look at ourselves because if we don’t win games, there is no point.

“They can lose, but if we don’t win our games, the gap is there, so we know from our side we need to win every game and approach each game for the three points.”
