“We know top four will be difficult”
Bruno Fernandes (Man United) has accepted a bitter reality.
“Fernandes admitted it will be difficult to finish in the top four of the English Premier League (EPL) after the loss to City,” British media outlet Football London reported on Thursday.
Eric ten Haag’s Manchester United lost their 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) away match against Manchester City 1-0 on Thursday at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England. United took the lead in the eighth minute through Marcus Rashford. However, back-to-back second-half goals from Phil Foden (2) and Elling Holland cost them the game. 안전놀이터 United have 14 wins, 2 draws, and 11 losses (44 points) in 27 league games this season.

In the first game, they went down 0-3. Tottenham, who are also in contention for the title, played them once and drew 3-3. Tottenham’s captain at the time, Son Heung-min, scored the opening goal.

As Football Transfer Tavern explains, “United are struggling to qualify for Europe. The gap between them and fourth-place Aston Villa (55 points) is 11 points. Tottenham are also in front of them.
Fernandes added: “I’m disappointed. I think we could have gotten something from the game. Everyone worked really hard to get the game. But it wasn’t possible. We knew at that moment that we had to defend from a deep position. 바카라사이트 추천 It was the quality of each individual City player that made the difference.”
He added: “We need to look ahead. We want to qualify for the UEFA Champions League (UCL) and we will try to finish in the top four of the league. We know it will be difficult. But we have to do everything we can.”
