During Manchester United’s loss in the derby, Bruno Fernandes shows his anguish by wearing a pained grimace.

The midfielder was a member of a team that was completely outclassed by a lively Manchester City side, which cruised to a 6-3 victory due to hat-tricks scored by Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.

City had a 4-0 lead going into halftime and subsequently maintained a 6-1 advantage, but United grabbed a pair of late responses through replacement Anthony Martial. City finished the game with a 6-1 advantage.

Anyone supporting Manchester United, who came into the game riding a four-game winning streak in the Premier League, was forced to endure a torturous experience as they saw their team lose all four of their games.

According to Fernandes, “The belief from the beginning was not the best,” and he believes that this was the root cause of many of the problems that led to the team conceding early goals.

In the absence of an injured Harry Maguire, Fernandes captained United, but he was unable to instil the team with the confidence it needed to overcome a shaky beginning to the match.

According to Fernandes, “I believe that the second half was much better.” When we got possession of the ball, we were able to exert complete dominance over the game. Because the result wasn’t what we wanted, we were forced to take some chances.

“And of course, when we gambled like that, we were rewarded with an immediate goal. We made some attempts to be a little bit more aggressive going forward, but as a result, we gave up even more goals. You can’t afford to give City that much real estate.

Although United “won” the second half with a score of 3-2, the day clearly belonged to City.

After scoring 10 goals and dishing out six assists in the previous campaign, Fernandes has just one goal and one assist in seven Premier League games this year.

The new manager, Erik ten Hag, will be hoping to draw that mercurial level of form from the Portuguese playmaker, rather than the watered-down version that has been served up in recent times. In the previous campaign, he managed 18 goals and 12 assists, so Erik ten Hag will be hoping to draw that level of form from the Portuguese playmaker.

When speaking to MUTV, Fernandes expressed his team’s feelings, stating, “Obviously, we are incredibly unhappy.” “But now that the international break is over, it is time to turn our attention to the next game, and we need to realise that we have to get back to the performances, belief, and togetherness that we had before the break. We also need to realise that this setback cannot bring us down. It is necessary that we get better in preparation for the future.

United will play their next game in the Europa League on Thursday, when they will travel to Cyprus to take on Omonia. The following day, on Sunday, they will play a Premier League match away at Everton.

After the outstanding performance that he and City turned in, Haaland took to his various social media sites to brag, stating, “Manchester is blue!”

It is a rebuilding task again, just like it was following the early season losses to Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford, and Fernandes and United are in no position to question City’s superiority at this time.

After suffering those defeats, United went on a winning streak, defeating Liverpool, Southampton, Leicester City, and Arsenal.

In the upcoming four games, Everton, Newcastle United, Tottenham, and Chelsea will serve as their opponents, and Fernandes is keen to shake off the blues that came with losing the derby.

He stated, “We knew it was going to be a tough game, but we’ve had tough games before and won them, so I think it’s about mentality, attitude, teamwork, and belief in the process.” “We knew it was going to be a tough game, but we’ve had tough games before and won them.”
