Bruno Fernandes has endeared himself to Manchester United fans ever since signing from Sporting Lisbon in January of 2020.
He has found the back of the net 27 times in that period, winning four Premier League Player of the Month awards and steered United from the despair to the top of the Premier League table, 3 points clear of rivals Liverpool.
If that wasn’t enough for United fans to love him, he has now spoken about the need for more trophies in Old Trafford and how he doesn’t want to see Liverpool win another title.
The Portuguese star is quoted by The Sun saying –
“You don’t want your rivals at the same level as you, or with the same amount of trophies as you.
“So it’s clear for everyone here at the club and in the dressing room, everyone knows what it means for the supporters.
“It would be a lot more fun with 21 titles and Liverpool still on 19, of course.”
When asked what he thought about Klopp’s comments on how many penalties United have won since his arrival, Bruno answered –
“I don’t care, honestly. You always see what people say but I really don’t care.
“I’m not focused on what they are saying. I played in Portugal and when you play for Sporting, Benfica and Porto are always talking about that kind of stuff – sometimes to put pressure on the referee, sometimes just to make some noise in the press.
“But, for me, the main point is when we have a penalty, if I go to take the ball to the penalty spot, I have to do my job.
This elite mentality is what is securing him as one of if no the best player in the League right now,
Do you think he’s the best player in the League?
