Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has urged the team and fans to stick together.
Losing to Leeds was a jolt to the system for Michael Carrick’s side. It was not the way we wanted the team to return to action after a long layoff.
There is no time for the team to mope around, with huge fixtures upcoming against Chelsea, Brentford and Liverpool, teams placed between fifth and seventh in the Premier League table.

With six games remaining, where do you now think Man Utd will finish?

Bruno Fernandes posted a message following Manchester United’s defeat, reflecting on a disappointing 90 minutes.
He wrote on Instagram: “Tough night at home. Time to reset, bounce back and stick together for the next games.”
United travel to face Chelsea this coming weekend, who are in a very tough moment themselves.
Chelsea lost 3-0 to City in their last game, and they have won only one of their last six Premier League games.
United have only won one of the last four, although this came in a ‘big’ game against Aston Villa. It is time to step up again.
A victory over Chelsea will put major distance between the two teams, which is crucial as the Blues are currently in sixth place. The top five teams qualify for the Champions League, it has now been confirmed.
United have a seven point advantage over Chelsea, and this can either be extended to 10, or cut to four.

Bruno Fernandes is putting the team first, but he is also on his own march towards individual greatness.
Fernandes has 17 assists for the season after his latest goal contribution against Leeds, setting up a goal for Casemiro.
He needs only three more to equal the Premier League single season record, and an additional one after that to break it outright.
With six games to go, it is very possible, and with a bit more luck, he would have had more than one last night.
Bruno Fernandes’ assist was the only positive – Will he break the record?
