Bruno Fernandes risks the wrath of Manchester United fans by openly acknowledging the way the Red Devils play against Brighton.
United were humiliated at AMEX Stadium on Saturday, with the Seagulls winning 4-0. Ralph Rangnik’s team showed a horrific performance, conceding three goals in 11 minutes in the second half to lose.
It was a loss that also confirmed that United will not play in the Champions League next season. Although the chances of the Red Devils to take a place in the top four were slim in the match, they still had the opportunity to reduce the gap with Arsenal.

Although the threat of no place in the Champions League loomed over them, United were weak in most of the matches. And Fernandez already claims that Brighton had more desire to win than his guests, risking the anger of his team’s supporters in the process.
“Brighton played much better than us. They had more desire than us, they deserve more than us to win this match. They created a lot of situations and could score many more times. “Obviously we had our chances, but it wasn’t enough and we know that,” Fernandez told MUTV.
“From the beginning of the match, they were more aggressive than us. We were not strong enough with the second balls in this match. We made some mistakes in defense and attack, we failed to score goals.”

The strike in Brighton is just the last low point in a terrible campaign for United. But Fernandez insisted they had to stay focused before their last game of the season against Crystal Palace in two weeks.
“The whole season was like that, ups and downs, the downs were too low and we have one game left. We have to win this match and that’s all we can do. The worst thing is to have training for the next two weeks, “Fernandes added.
“The match is far away, but we have to keep our focus, do our best and understand that the last match is important for us and we have to win it. As always, we should be grateful [to the fans]they’ve been through bad things seeing their club this season and like I said, they’ve been supporting us all season. “

With only one game left this season, the best United to finish is sixth, last in the Europa League qualifiers. But if they are defeated by Palace and the Wolves win all their last three games, the Red Devils could fall even to eighth, a position that does not carry a European qualification.
Fernandes’ confession of reluctance at Old Trafford may be about new boss Eric ten Haag, with the current team playing for its future. The Dutchman will take over at the end of the season, and there will almost certainly be a big change in the lineup.
