Bruno Fernandes highlights a shift in mentality as key to Manchester United’s recent success in the FA Cup
Manchester: Bruno Fernandes is feeling pretty good about Manchester United’s recent performances. He thinks a change in mindset is what’s making the difference this season.
United just made it to the fourth round of the FA Cup after a nail-biting 5-3 win on penalties against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. It was a big deal since it marked their first win in that part of London in six years!
Even when they were down to ten men after Diogo Dalot got a second yellow card, the team held strong. They played tough defense and managed to push the game to penalties.
Fernandes, who scored during the match and in the shootout, believes the team’s recent passion and determination have really shone through. He mentioned that having more time to train has helped, but it’s all about the heart they’re putting into the game.
He said, “It’s about how much you want to win.” Everyone seems to be on the same page with what the coach wants, and they’re starting to show the effort needed to succeed.
Fernandes also pointed out that while they’re improving, the coach, Ruben Amorim, wants them to be more aggressive in scoring goals. He knows they have the talent to find the back of the net.
With young players like Rasmus Hojlund and others, there’s a lot of potential. Fernandes believes they all have the ability to score, and it’s just a matter of tapping into that talent.
