Bruno Fernandes Vows to Lift Manchester United Spirits After Community Shield Loss to Man City

Bruno Fernandes has taken it upon himself and his Manchester United teammates to reignite the passion of the club's supporters this season, following their narrow defeat to Manchester City in the Community Shield. The match, held at Wembley, saw United fall short in a 7-6 penalty shootout after a late equalizer from City's Bernardo Silva canceled out Alejandro Garnacho's earlier goal for United.

Despite missing key players due to injuries and late returns from international duty, United delivered a strong performance, creating several chances that could have secured the win before the penalty shootout. Notably, the first half featured a promising link-up play between Amad, Casemiro, and Mason Mount, which nearly resulted in a goal that had fans eagerly anticipating the season ahead.

Speaking to MUTV after the match, Fernandes emphasized the responsibility on the players to entertain the fans and make up for the disappointments of last season. "There's always excitement when a new season starts, and we've felt that from the fans too," Fernandes said. "It's now on us to keep that excitement alive. We have to create moments that keep the fans with us because they come to be entertained."

Fernandes also stressed the determination within the squad to win and bring joy to the supporters, acknowledging the challenges of the previous season. "Last season was tough for everyone, but we're committed to making this one different. We want to win games and give the fans something to cheer about."

With the new season on the horizon, Fernandes and his teammates are eager to prove themselves and restore Manchester United's status as a formidable force in English football.
