Bruno Fernandes says Manchester United have gone a while without the Premier League title and they now boast the mental strength to do so.
Bruno Fernandes believes Manchester United have the mental strength to compete for the Premier League title.
The Portuguese midfielder has made a massive impact since making the move to Old Trafford from Sporting CP in January.
He has been a bright spot during a spell when United have struggled for consistency, and they currently sit 14th in the Premier League.
United are eight points behind leaders Leicester City although they have played one game fewer. However, they are long shots to lift the title this season.
But winning silverware was one of the reasons the Portugal international made the move to United – and he is not prepared to throw in the towel.
“For me, it doesn’t matter about the other teams,” Fernandes told UTD Podcast. “People may say they’re better than us, they have a better first XI than us, guys who come from the bench are better.
“People can say what they think, I don’t care. For a club like United, it’s a long time since we won the Premier League. It’s too long, I think.
“So you have to have in your mind – all the players, all the staff – we’re here to win. And I think we have that mentality.
“I came to Manchester to win trophies. You’re playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. This club has made history in the past, an amazing history.”
