Fernandes is determined that no one at Manchester United shies away from the club’s rich history as they secure a 3-2 victory over Newcastle. He emphasizes that they are playing for a prestigious club.

In a much-needed victory for Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes led the charge as they secured a 3-2 win over Newcastle at Old Trafford. This result sees both teams level on points in the battle for seventh place in the Premier League.

After suffering consecutive defeats to Crystal Palace and Arsenal, the win against Newcastle provided a glimmer of hope for United. However, their focus now turns to the FA Cup Final at Wembley, their last opportunity to claim silverware this season.

Manager Erik ten Hag has faced immense pressure throughout the campaign, with his players often failing to meet expectations and a series of key injuries hampering their progress. The victory over Newcastle brought some relief to the fans, who have endured a disappointing season with boos frequently echoing around Old Trafford.

Speaking after the match, Fernandes acknowledged the challenges they have faced this season and expressed gratitude towards the supporters. He stated, “It’s been a tough season, the table shows that, we are aware of that. The fans have been amazing, they have been behind us, supporting us. We want to do better, we want to do differently.”

Fernandes was a standout performer throughout the game, displaying his versatility by contributing defensively and orchestrating the team’s play. However, he humbly credited his teammates, emphasizing that a captain’s performance is a collective effort. He said, “It’s just a team performance, a player that has to do their best for the team and I am no different because I wear the armband.”

Despite the initial boos, the atmosphere at Old Trafford quickly transformed into cheers when ten Hag addressed the crowd directly. Surrounded by his players, the Dutchman expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support they have received. He promised that the team would give their all in the remaining matches, including the FA Cup Final, and thanked the fans for being the best supporters in the world.

With two games left in the season, Manchester United aims to finish on a high note, starting with their upcoming clash against Brighton. The players are determined to lift their standards and end the campaign in the best possible way, hoping to bring the coveted cup back to Old Trafford.
