FA Cup: Fernandes speaks on injury against Liverpool

Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes has reacted to their recent game against Liverpool in the FA Cup tournament.

The Portugal star played the full 120 minutes which saw them defeat the Reds thanks to a last-gasp goal from Red Devils attacker Amad Diallo.

Man Utd have now advanced to the semi-finals, where they will take on Coventry City.

Towards the end of the match against Liverpool, Fernandes was seen hobbling and even dropped back into central defense during extra-time, stirring concerns on if the midfielder sustained an injury.

However, the 29-year-old has said that “tiredness” was his main issue against Liverpool.

“I was shouting and I couldn’t hear my voice. So you have an idea of what the noise was like for us on the pitch, with the tiredness, with everything,” Fernandes told TNT Sports Brazil.

“My lungs were on their last legs too… but it was impressive. I think they were excellent with us from start to finish, even when we conceded a goal, because the next moment we’d create something and the stadium would rise up again and create the momentum we needed.

“And at one point I had to jump into the middle, at others I had to drop a little deeper, because my legs were getting tired, I was cramping up everywhere, and I even took a knock to help out.

“But it’s whatever it takes to help the team. Because Antony ended up at left-back, [Christian] Eriksen was also at six, [Scott] McTominay further forward. We were all giving everything we had to win the game.”
