Bruno Fernandes On Manchester United's Performance
Following the culmination of the match, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes expressed his thoughts on the match, conveying both relief and disappointment over the result.
Obviously we've been criticised, and fairly, because the position in the table says it all, he told Sky Sports. We've lost too many points. Even today, we can't be happy with the draw, because we need points more than they need.
According to Fernandes, the team needs to keep the performance in mind and deliver the same, week in and week out.
It's a really good result and a fair result, both teams played good football, and it was intense. I'm pretty upset because we can show this against Liverpool at Anfield, first in the league, the outstanding team in the Premier League this season, why can't we do this every week?
A point hasn't benefitted United by huge bounds as they are still 13th on the league table. Liverpool on the other hand are at the top of the tree with 6 points lead and a match in hand against the second placed Arsenal.
