Bruno Fernandes believes Manchester United were lavish in front of goal in Saturday night’s 2-0 loss to Tottenham and admitted he should have scored his free header in the first half of the game.

Erik ten Hag named an unchanged team for the game and it was an opportunity for those players to continue after a disappointing performance in the win over Wolves and there were chances for both teams in the first half.

United were denied a clear penalty when Alejandro Garnacho’s shot caught Cristian Romero’s outstretched arm in the 27th minute, but Spurs were also close to taking the lead when they hit wood twice before the break. The game was somehow goalless at half-time and it was Tottenham who broke the deadlock shortly after play resumed. Pape Sarr found the back of the net from a deflected cross and the lead was extended in the 82nd minute.

Ben Davies’ shot went wide on goal and deservedly emerged goalkeeper Andre Onana looked visibly angry.

Fernandes spoke to MUTV after the game and regretted wasting his big chance of him, which was the team’s best of the game.

“We haven’t run out of chances,” he said. “We had a lot of chances to score and I had a big chance to score absolutely. I have to find a way to get that header, we didn’t score and after conceding a goal early in the second half. “, the match was difficult.

“We hit the post, we had more chances to counter-attack than we could have done better at the last moment. But unlike against Wolves, we played a lot more football today, we created more chances but we weren’t ruthless enough.”

“We didn’t score any goals and we didn’t score any points. I was looking at the goalkeeper too much instead of focusing on the ball and my movements were too quick so I didn’t win the ball back as I should have.” “Anyway, I have to get that header on goal.”
