Fernandes: I chose United because I know we can win things

Bruno Fernandes should have joined Manchester United last summer and if he had, our season would likely have been very different. He has been a revelation since joining us in January and made an immediate impact to the way we played and our results. United are unbeaten in the nine games he’s played in, winning six, including victories over Manchester City and Chelsea.

The Portuguese midfielder, who has always dreamed of playing for United, claims he chose a move to Old Trafford because he knows this team is equipped to win things.

What I’ve learnt is that this club is here to win everything it can. This is my focus, this is why I chose Manchester United. I want to be here and I want to be a champion and fight for every title.

For me, personal targets are always to do better than before and the personal target is the same as the team – it’s about getting a place in the Champions League. I think this team deserves to be in the Champions League.

After the first few games, maybe some players didn’t know me and now they will be more ready to play against me. But I will also be more ready and more excited and have more motivation to do better and better. That’s my aim.
