Bruno Fernandes has named the real reason for the success of Manchester United under the leadership of Eric ten Haga.
The Red Devils came back to beat Manchester City 2-1 in front of a packed Old Trafford.
Man City took the lead thanks to the super-safe Jack Grealish.
United did not give up and continued to attack, but in the 84th minute they won, and Marcus Rashford scored the winning goal.
In his post—match interview, the Portuguese midfielder said that United is a team, not a group of people.
“Now we are a real team. In the past, we all may have taken care of ourselves as individuals.”

He was asked about disagreements about his goal.
Many believe that Rashford, who was offside, interfered with the game, so the goal should not have stood.
Bruno replied:
“I was standing in front of the goal, Marcus probably saw that I was in a better position.”
“I didn’t know if any of us were offside. He had no influence on the defenders. What is, is.”
This is a huge result for United, who are now just one point behind City in the Premier League.
Ten Hag will strive for a positive 2023.
