Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes addressed the media following their dry 0-2 loss away at Hull City in the first round of the Premier League.
The Portuguese midfielder was quick to underline the critical lapses in concentration during set pieces and acknowledged the frustration of the fans.
'We know how tough it is to play at difficult away grounds in the Premier League. You simply have to match the intensity, commitment, and toughness of the opponent. In the end, it was two set pieces that decided the game and cost us the win.
As for the disappointment among fans? We fully understand the emotions and frustration of our supporters. At the start of each season, we set out to aim for the highest goals and win every match. However, it is crucial now for the fans to stay behind us, while we continue to believe in ourselves.'
