JAKARTA - Manchester United (MU) captain Bruno Fernandes sent a message to his colleagues to rise again after being massacred by Liverpool. The Red Devils conceded seven goals at Anfield Stadium, Sunday, March 5.

Erik ten Hag's team were unable to reply and became MU's biggest defeat when they met the classic rival.

This result also automatically became a crushing blow for MU who actually had a positive season before this match.

Before the match against Liverpool, MU was recorded unbeaten in 11 consecutive matches. Even last week, Marcus Rashford and his colleagues won the Carabao Cup which became MU's first trophy in six years.

But in fact, MU's positive trend was tarnished by the 7-0 defeat that was obtained at Anfield Stadium. The moment seemed to bring down MU who tried to soar.

Fernandes also received the spotlight in that match. The Portuguese player is considered unfit to be the team captain.

He was caught several times committing disgraceful actions. One of them is doing diving.

As if he wanted to prove himself worthy of being a team leader, Fernandes tried to give an injection of encouragement so that his team could keep up.

"We could have fallen, but we had to get up because we knew how good we were," Bruno Fernandes was quoted as saying by Manchester Evening News on Tuesday, March 7.

"This time (against Liverpool) we didn't perform well. I'm sure we can still do great things tomorrow," continued the man who also captained.

On the same occasion, Fernandes also mentioned the support of fans. According to him, the presence of fans is very valuable because in difficult situations they are always there and keep players strong.

With this result, the Red Devils are still stuck on the third ladder of the Premier League Inggri standings. MU trailed 14 points from Arsenal at the top of the standings by bagging 49 points.
