Bruno Fernandes reacts to Southampton 2 Man Utd 3

Bruno’s staggering stats continued against Southampton as he notched his 36th goal involvement in 36 games for the club – 22 goals and 14 assists. The man himself was pleased to play his part once again, but insisted team affairs come before personal ones.

“I’m happy to help the team. Of course the assist is not really an assist [laughs] but I will take it!” he added. “I’m happy because we win. Of course every player wants to score. The point now is to look [out] for each other. We need to keep winning because we want to be at the top of the table and we have to fight.

“This game was against a tough opponent,” he added. “I think if you take out the big clubs, as you say in England, I think Southampton is the team that can play a lot of quality football in the Premier League. They have quality, they have runners, they fight. They have such good quality and it’s difficult to beat them. I think the sacrifice we made in the second half and the way we ran and helped each other was fantastic. We played well in the first half but we conceded goals from set-plays and we will work on that as we are not happy with that.”
