“They can’t be here” – Dejected Bruno Fernandes sends stern warning to Man Utd teammates who lacked ‘braveness’ | OneFootball

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is sick and tired of losing matches, and he made that abundantly clear in his post-match interview following the team’s 1-3 defeat at the hands of Brighton.

The 30-year-old managed to find the back of the net from the spot to draw his side level before the end of the first half, but the Red Devils were second-best to the Seagulls after the interval. Brighton have now become the first team not named Manchester City to win three Premier League contests in a row at Old Trafford.

The visitors also had the edge in the majority of the duels, and this superiority has been mirrored by the final result. Therefore, Fernandes argues his team lacked ‘braveness’ on Sunday afternoon.

“A very disappointing day, a very disappointing afternoon for us. It’s not the performance that we wanted,” said the Portugal international in his interview with Sky Sports.

“For me, it doesn’t matter if it’s home or away: a defeat at Manchester United is always bad. We have had too many already this season.

“I don’t think it is comfortable for them. But we lacked braveness and a bit of belief on turning the result on our side again. We did it against Southampton with eight or ten minutes to go, we should have done it today at least, believe a little bit more and have a bit more braveness and not tire ourselves from the responsibility.”

Nevertheless, the club captain refuses to accept the club’s current mediocre status, insisting he isn’t here to lose matches, while inviting anyone who doesn’t believe share his winning mentality to leave the club.

“It can’t be. I understand the perspective from the outside. But we can’t be comfortable in thinking that this is ok. Because it’s not. I’m not here to lose games and be in the position we are in at the moment. But I know that no one in that dressing room is and if someone is, they can’t be here.

“It doesn’t matter to me. It’s another loss to us. It doesn’t matter how many times they’ve won against us. I remember in the past where they haven’t won a game here. That’s not going to change anything. The main thing that is going change for us is we didn’t get the three points today. Congratulations to them, they did a good game and they deservedly won the game.”
