Bruno Fernandes refused to admit that winning the FA Cup can make the 2023/24 season a successful one for Man United.
After the win over Coventry City, he told ITV: “When they scored a goal [in extra time] we thought it might be offside, we couldn't tell from the front. We put ourselves in a difficult position and should have killed it earlier but we didn't. We have to do so much better.
“We'll never be successful if we win [only] the FA Cup. The standard of this club is much higher than what we have been doing.
“We have to do better in the league, the League Cup and in Europe. Obviously, it's going to be successful in the FA Cup if we win it. But we know that this club is much more than that.”
Fernandes won the Player of the Match award for a brilliant performance in which he scored and assisted, as well as slotting home the penalty in the shootout.
He has now taken his tally to 13 goals and 10 assists so far in the 23/24 season in 43 appearances.
