Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has shockingly claimed that the game against Liverpool was “tight” despite the fact the club suffered a 3-0 loss.

United were well and truly outperformed by their bitter rivals, whose goals were scored by Luis Diaz who grabbed a brace and Mohamed Salah.

Erik ten Hag’s men never really grew into the game and were lucky that Liverpool didn’t find the back of Andre Onana’s net even more.

The defeat against the Merseysiders is United’s second consecutive Premier League loss heading into the September international break.

After the final whistle at Old Trafford, Fernandes spoke to Sky Sports and said that the game was tight and United were unlucky as they didn’t take their chances.

The playmaker remarked, “We started the game really well and got more chances. We have to be more clinical, this happened against Fulham too. They were clinical.”

“The goals are always self-inflicted. You need to commit a mistake to give them the goal. We don’t need to be pointing fingers at everyone. that won’t help us now.”

“When you concede a goal you can’t just point at one mistake. What’s the point in saying Casemiro lost the ball or Kobbie [Mainoo] lost the ball? They lost the ball because they wanted to be brave. It’s part of football. Don’t make it individual.”

“Casemiro is more experienced than me. I don’t need to tell him anything, he knows what football is about. He’s played for the two best clubs in the world. Kobbie is an excellent kid. I want him to try more and do this because it’s part of his game. They are huge players for us and will keep being.”

Fernandes added, “We don’t have to look at the past. We just have to make it different. We lost the game, congratulations to Liverpool, they were more clinical.”

“I don’t look at the stats but the game was tight.”

Up next for United is an away clash against Southampton on 14 September.
