Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United captain, is eager to etch his name in the club's history by emulating the legacy of scoring at Anfield. He seeks inspiration from his friend and former teammate, Juan Mata, who scored 51 goals for United, including a memorable brace on Merseyside in 2015. Scoring at Anfield is a rare feat, joining the ranks of club legends like Norman Whiteside, Gary Pallister, Andy Cole, Ryan Giggs, Diego Forlan, John O'Shea, and Wayne Rooney.
In an interview with MUTV's Mark Sullivan, Bruno expressed his desire to replicate the success of a true No.8 at Anfield. He shared a lighthearted conversation with Juan, who had asked for a video for a friend, and they discussed the significance of scoring in a crucial match. Bruno acknowledges the impact such a goal would have on the fans and the team's morale.
The white kit, a familiar color for United's famous winners at Anfield, might bring good luck this weekend. Bruno humorously suggests that the white kit could be the key to success, recalling past instances where players like Licha (Lisandro Martinez) and Amad scored at Anfield, and nearly winning with Harry Maguire's last-minute effort.
United's previous visits to Anfield have been challenging, but Bruno emphasizes the importance of resilience and a free-flowing style of play. He believes that maintaining a high level of performance and avoiding mistakes is crucial when facing top opponents like Liverpool. Bruno encourages his teammates to play with freedom and confidence, focusing on their individual skills rather than the weight of the game.
As United prepares for the upcoming match, MUTV will provide live coverage of Liverpool vs. United starting at 3:30 BST on Sunday. The team's journey to Anfield is documented through exclusive gym access and player highlights, showcasing the dedication and talent of the players.
