Following Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Aston Villa, Manchester United midfielders Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes got into yet another heated post-game discussion on the field.
With a narrow 1-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, Manchester United increased their chances of finishing in the top four. However, not everyone at Old Trafford was in the mood to celebrate.
In the 39th minute, Bruno Fernandes scored to put an end to the traveling supporters’ jeers of the United captain, who had been subjected to them throughout the entire game.
However, the Portuguese midfielder was seen arguing angrily with Casemiro at the end of the game while those around them celebrated a victory that keeps Erik ten Hag’s team comfortably ahead of the competition in the race for a Champions League spot.
Casemiro could be seen wide-eyed and agitated during the conversation with Fernandes before Harry Maguire approached them, in scenes evoking the pair’s acrimonious on-field debrief following United’s Carabao Cup victory back in February.
Acutely aware Manchester United supporters who were watching on television quickly became interested in the exchange. Following social media sharing, the video has already gained widespread popularity.
During the game, Jadon Sancho and Fernandes exchanged words, with the United winger seemingly reprimanding his teammate for “moaning.”. Although Fernandes’ game-winning goal was also his 100th league goal of his career, it was still a memorable afternoon for him.
And Fernandes praised the significance of the victory as United seeks to gain momentum heading into the season’s final weeks, which also happen to coincide with their tantalizing FA Cup final matchup against Manchester City at Wembley.
“We always try to win the game,” Fernandes said in a post-game interview with Premier League Productions. “Not always is it possible, but the team always tries to win the game.
Because this club is all about winning games, it’s always crucial. No matter who we play against, we were aware that they were a good team with a winning record and solid players and formations. Despite this, we were confident in our ability to perform well and secure the victory.
We could have scored more goals, but we are content with the 1-0 score and the three points. “We did what we were trained to do.
The FA Cup and finishing in the top four are our two main goals, so we must muster the motivation to do so. “.
Before their game against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United had a nine-point lead over fifth-placed Tottenham in the race for the top four.
