Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, has called on his teammates to maintain the level of intensity and quality they displayed during their thrilling 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield. Despite falling short of victory, Fernandes emphasized the importance of consistency as United look to climb the Premier League table.
A Performance to Build On
In a game where United twice came from behind, Fernandes played a pivotal role. His precise assist to Lisandro Martinez set up United’s opening goal, showcasing his vision and leadership. Speaking after the match, Fernandes reflected on the team’s performance: "This is the standard we need to uphold. We’ve shown we can compete with the best, but now it’s about doing it every single week."
Frustration Over Inconsistency
The Portuguese midfielder did not shy away from addressing the team’s recent struggles. "We’ve had moments of brilliance, but we haven’t been consistent," he admitted. "When we can pressure a team like Liverpool, there’s no excuse for not delivering the same intensity in other games." Fernandes also highlighted the importance of translating performances into results, saying, "It’s not just about playing well; we need to win and collect points."
United’s Resilience at Anfield
United’s ability to respond to Liverpool’s goals with equalizers from Martinez and Amad Diallo showcased their fighting spirit. "The way we fought back today was encouraging," Fernandes noted. "But resilience has to be a constant, not a reaction. We have to start stronger and take control of games early."
Setting a New Standard
Fernandes believes that the match against Liverpool should serve as a turning point for United. "This performance has to set the tone for the rest of the season," he urged. "We need to demand more from ourselves and aim higher in every match."
Looking Ahead
As Manchester United prepares for a string of crucial fixtures, the challenge will be to replicate the intensity shown at Anfield. For Fernandes, the message to his team is clear: consistency is key. "The talent is there," he concluded. "Now it’s about discipline, focus, and delivering results every week."
