Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes fires clear instruction after Liverpool draw

Bruno Fernandes has called for unity as Manchester United aim to finish their season on a high following a tough few days at Old Trafford and beyond. United drew 2-2 with Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon and Fernandes was on target in that pulsating showdown.

It came following a last-gasp midweek defeat to Chelsea and United are winless in three games. That frustrating run has dampened their Champions League qualification aspirations with United now 11 points behind Tottenham and Aston Villa, although they do have a game in hand on Villa.

Despite a Europa League place looking more likely for United, at this stage, there is still chance that an additional Champions League berth with go to an English team. However, even in that scenario there would be serious work for Fernandes and his teammates to do.
