Bruno Fernandes says he is “perfectly aware” that he is part of a Manchester United side that is incapable of winning the Premier League.
United, whose last title came more than 11 years ago, splashed out £180m on five signings this summer in hope of earning a top-four finish. Sunday’s dismal 3-0 defeat to Liverpool means the club have earned just three points from their opening three matches, as was the case in Erik ten Hag’s debut season.
Hopes are being placed on Manuel Ugarte, who arrived from Paris Saint-Germain for an initial £42.3million on deadline day, to plug the midfield sieve. He signed too late to play against Liverpool and heard his captain make a damning assessment of his new team after full-time.
“Yes, I am perfectly aware that this Manchester United is not ready to win the Premier League,” Fernandes told DAZN Portugal.
