The playmaker is itching to win his first piece of silverware having come so close two years ago.
Bruno Fernandes says his sole focus is winning trophies for Manchester United and claimed the way to do that is to take each step “game-by-game”.
The Reds have not lifted silverware for five-and-a-half seasons but are favourites to lift the League Cup this year as they go into their second semi-final leg against Nottingham Forest with a 3-0 lead, with either Newcastle or Southampton potential final opponents.
Fernandes – who arrived at Old Trafford three years ago on Monday – came close to winning his first United trophy when the club made it to the Europa League final in 2021, where they lost on penalties to Villarreal. The club’s last domestic final came in 2018, when they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup.
But whether it’s on home soil or the continent, Fernandes is eager to clasp hands on a long-awaited trophy for United. “I still feel like my main goal is to still win trophies,” he told club media.
“I think the aim for this club has always been to win trophies and we can’t hide that. You have to think game-by-game and think that the next one is more important.
“The aim, the global aim for the club is always winning trophies and it means a lot for the club, for the fans and the players because no player comes to Man United thinking that the main goal is not winning trophies.
“They know what this club is about and they know what the feeling is to play for this club.” He added: “Everyone outside of the club, players from everywhere, they want and they would love to play for this club because they know they will be closer to achieving big things.
“That was my main goal when I came to the club, it still is my main goal and even when I get my first, second and third that will always be my main goal – winning trophies for this club. This is what football is about and playing for this club.”
