Man United star Bruno Fernandes fires Liverpool demand after Chelsea defeat with simple message

Bruno Fernandes has revealed what Manchester United need following their 4-3 defeat to Chelsea. Cole Palmer fired Chelsea to victory on Thursday evening, narrowing the Red Devils' advantage in the race for Europa League qualification.

In the dying embers of injury time, the 21-year-old midfielder found an equaliser for the Blues from the penalty spot, netting his second spot-kick of the tie. Then, no more than a minute and a half later, Palmer put the west London outfit ahead after Manchester United were slow to react to a quick corner.

Enzo Fernandez picked out the England international, who was unmarked on the edge of the box. Mason Mount couldn't close down Palmer quick enough before his strike was deflected by Scott McTominay beyond Andre Onana.

While Chelsea reignited their hopes of securing European football this term, the Red Devils squandered the chance to distance themselves from their rivals. Taking to Instagram after the game, Fernandes outlined exactly why he and his teammates must do against Liverpool.

Manchester United will welcome Jurgen Klopp's side to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. The Portugal international wrote: «Frustrating night! Big reaction needed in the big game on Sunday [arm flexed emoji].»

Speaking to TNT Sports, Fernandes expanded on where it all went wrong for the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge. He said: «We had the game in our hands in the last few minutes and we gave it away.
