MU faced many difficulties against New Port County, and Bruno Fernandes said that his team could not easily defeat the 4th-ranked team because his teammates played selfishly.
In the fourth round of the FA Cup, MU had a trip to Newport County. The Red Devils soon had 2 goals in the lead thanks to Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo. But then Newport caused a big surprise when they scored 2 goals in a row, equalizing the score 2-2.
Fortunately for MU, this was the match in which Antony and Rasmus Hojlund took turns scoring, thereby helping the Red Devils win 4-2 and enter the 5th round.
After the recent match, Bruno Fernandes – the current captain of MU – expressed his dissatisfaction with the team’s performance. The Portuguese midfielder affirmed that MU could not finish off the opponent early because his teammates played too individually.
“This is not the result we wanted. MU really wanted to win, we achieved it but the problem is that the result was not a perfect result for us.
We should have finished the game in the first half, we could have scored three more goals. However, in the context of the team leading 2-0, everyone focused on scoring goals and that was sometimes not the best decision. After that, the opponent scored 2 consecutive goals. Anyway, after being equalized, we tried our best to win,” Bruno shared.
MU will face Bristol City or Nottingham Forest in the 5th round of the FA Cup. After the victory over Newport County, next Friday, coach Erik ten Hag and his team will return to the Premier League with a visit to Wolverhampton ‘s stadium .
