Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes says he is fully focused on winning the Premier League title with the Red Devils in the near future.
United have not been victorious in the competition since Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season in 2012-13, and to add insult to injury their bitter rivals Liverpool have been crowned as champions for the first time in 30 years.
But Fernandes, who has impressed since joining from Sporting Lisbon in January, is confident that United will be challenging for the trophy within too long.
Speaking to The Dial Up, by Soccer Bible, Fernandes said: “You need to know that when you come and join a team like this, you have to focus on winning titles. Titles are the most important thing. It doesn’t matter how you play but you have to play to win.

“This is the kind of team that is born to be at the top. The expectations I have for Manchester United are big. This is my dream club. But when I arrived I saw just how big it was. The fans, the quality of the club, the training ground. I thought I knew how big Manchester United are but I realised that I did not think big enough. It is an enormous club.”
Fernandes also thinks he will only improve as a player while he is at Old Trafford, and believes his peak performances will be achieved in the Premier League.
“I’m now at the biggest clubs in the world and now is my opportunity to be the best player I can,” he added. “The best player I will ever be, will be here. I’m playing in the best league in the world in the Premier League.”
United have still not lost a game while Fernandes has been in the team, and he will be hoping that run continues when they take on Norwich in the FA Cup on Saturday.
