Frustrated Anfield Helped Manchester United Beat Liverpool – Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has said the club’s first win at Anfield since January 2016 was helped by Liverpool fans showing frustration with their own team. He recently revealed that Anfield frustration due to their players’ failure to put MUFC under pressure was helpful.

According to him, the anxiety of the home fans contributed to the crucial away win against Liverpool because Manchester United took advantage by slowing the game down.

Bruno added that winning against Brighton is very important in the next game to keep the consistency going.

His words, “In the first 10 minutes we knew they [Liverpool] would try to start the game very strong. Also in the first half, we understood that they were under pressure when they had time on the ball, the fans were putting them in a difficult position and booing for them to play quicker.

We wanted to slow their game and we knew that would give massive spaces around the middle. In the second half we could have played a little bit more on the ball.

We know what it means for the fans and the club to play these rivalries. We wanted to do it because it is a long time since the club won at Anfield.

It is very important, so I am very happy to do it today.”

On MUFC finally winning back-to-back league games, “It’s embarrassing really.

It’s not a stat that we should even be speaking about, because it is an embarrassing stat to have.

Now that’s out of the way, let’s try and make it three on Saturday against Brighton, because we have to start putting a bit more consistency together.

The last three or four years we’d put in a performance like this and the following game we come down again.

We have set a benchmark. There are a lot of areas we can do more, we were hanging on there and defending for the last 30 minutes or so.

We’ll analyse it. The manager strives for perfection, so I’m sure he will want us to play better than we did in the second half. Great fight, big spirit, big win, but we have to go again.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
