Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes found himself grappling with mixed emotions following an intense 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield. Despite recent struggles, the Red Devils delivered a performance that challenged the Premier League's top team right in their backyard, as reported by Sky Sports.
The matchup was a dramatic affair, with momentum shifting continuously until the final whistle. Though both sides shared the spoils, the match was filled with positives for Manchester United given their current form. Overwhelmed, Fernandes described the outcome as a "good" and "fair result," yet expressed regret over missing out on all three points.
In recent weeks, Manchester United's trajectory under new head coach Ruben Amorim has been inconsistent. Entering Anfield, they stood at 14th on the table, having lost to Newcastle United. Just seven points away from the relegation zone, the team needed to secure something significant. Thanks to their spirited play, they managed to claim a point, spurred on by Fernandes who urged the team to maintain this form in upcoming games.
Fernandes expressed frustration, stating, "I'm pretty upset because if we can show this today at Anfield against Liverpool, who are first in the league and probably the standout team this season, why can't we do this every week?" Post a scoreless first half, the pace picked up with Lisandro Martinez breaking the deadlock with a spirited shot. Liverpool responded swiftly, equalizing through Coady Gakpo.
Liverpool took the lead after Mohammed Salah successfully converted a penalty, following a handball by De Ligt. Despite trailing, Manchester United showed resilience, with Amad Diallo leveling the score after a cross from Alejandro Garnacho. Harry Maguire had a late opportunity to secure the victory, but the match concluded in a draw.
With the draw, Manchester United inched up to 13th place with 23 points and set their sights on hosting Southampton next week. (ANI)
