Man Utd Should Never Get Used To Losing, Says Fernandes
Despite the Red Devils’ struggles this season, particularly at Old Trafford, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes said the club’s fans should not raise their expectations.
With a stoppage-time winner, Fernandes’ side defeated an under-performing Rangers 2-1 on Thursday to move into the Europa League last 16.
United had lost four of their previous five home games, which led to Ruben Amorim calling his team “the worst” in the club’s long history.
“At this club, you need to win every game, you know that if you don’t win games here it is going to be difficult, there are going to be tough moments,” Fernandes told TNT Sports.
There are numerous clubs that use winning tactics. I hope that our fans never get used to losing games, even in this tough experience. They should understand that this team must win every game, in my opinion. ”

A point away from Romanian side FCSB in the week should be enough to prevent United from qualifying for the Europa League playoffs.
Asmorim has been trying to advance to the last 16 in order to gain some much-needed time to practice his ideas.
Fernandes wants to win the May competition in Bilbao, but he has higher ambitions.
He continued, “Today was crucial for us to win because we want to reach the final and advance through the Europa League.”
To avoid playing two more games, we want to be in the first eight. ”
United also struck late last week to come from 1-0 down to beat bottom-of-the-table Southampton 3-1 thanks to Amad Diallo’s hat-trick.
Fernandes also demanded that his team exhibit more consistency rather than resort to their own heroics in order to escape trouble.
“It is not about proving the character, we have to prove that in the 90 minutes, we can’t only bring that out when we concede a goal or something goes against us,” he said.
It doesn’t matter what happens in the 90 minutes because we must remain focused on finding a way to win the game.
We had to score a late winner, sadly for us, and conceded a late goal. ”
