Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, is optimistic that the club can progress further following their victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has expressed his hope that the team’s thrilling FA Cup victory over rivals Liverpool can spark a positive change at the club.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Fernandes emphasized that the team is not afraid of any opponent at Old Trafford and believes that this win can be a turning point for the side.

However, Fernandes acknowledged that in the past, Manchester United has failed to capitalize on similar opportunities. He stated, “We’ve talked about turnarounds but have never done the next step. But I think we have to understand the FA Cup is a thing and the Premier League is another one.”

Looking ahead, Fernandes is now focused on pushing for a spot in next season’s Champions League. He highlighted the recent slip-ups of Tottenham and Aston Villa, emphasizing the importance of winning every remaining game to close the gap.

Regarding Amad Diallo’s red card for removing his shirt after scoring, Fernandes expressed his belief that this rule should be changed. He argued that players should be allowed to celebrate their goals while still showing respect to other clubs.

Despite the unexpected role of filling in as an emergency centre-back alongside Harry Maguire, Fernandes embraced the challenge and enjoyed the experience. He explained, “I do what’s needed to win games.. I was there to help him and the defenders to get a result.”

In conclusion, Fernandes hopes that the FA Cup triumph can serve as a catalyst for Manchester United’s future success, particularly in their pursuit of Champions League qualification.
