Fernandes: I have not met my standards in front of goal

Oct 12,2024

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes admits he has to take more responsibility for his lack of goals.

The 30-year-old has not scored in his last 15 club appearances, stretching back to April, and accepts he has not met his own exacting standards.

"As for the club, I want to improve as soon as I get there, and make sure the goals start coming again," Fernandes told Portuguese media while on international duty preparing for a Nations League match against Poland.

"I have to take responsibility for that too, because I'm a midfielder who scores a lot of goals, and over the years, I’ve always been at a very high level in terms of goals and I have to live up to that, with those expectations.

"I also have my own standards, I don’t hold back on that.

"I haven’t scored for the club yet and I hope that as soon as I get there I can score and help the club get back to winning ways and to a good level."
