Fernandes slams teammates
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes expressed his frustration with how the team conceded the second goal early in the second half against Manchester City, stating that scoring goals is one of the Red Devils' main shortcomings.
"We lacked goals. We created chances, we could have made better decisions in the final third. In the second half, we can't concede a goal from a throw-in, and then we lose the ball and give Haaland 50 yards for a one-on-one with the goalkeeper for the third goal. "
"It became very difficult in the second half. Even though I believe we controlled the ball more and created many opportunities, we have to finish them," Bruno Fernandes began, as reported by Abola.
"We have to score goals, that's clear. We have to score more and concede less. That's part of what this team is missing. The first half was very balanced.
"We could have pressed better on Manchester City's goal, but I think the first half was good. In the second half, we conceded a goal from a throw-in and then gave Haaland 45 or 50 yards. We made life difficult for ourselves," the Manchester United midfielder added.
