  • Bruno Fernandes says he does not care about scoring more goals but wants to win trophies for Manchester United
  • The 27-year-old reached double figures for Manchester United this season after he opened the scoring in their 3-0 win against Brentford
  • Manchester United are expected to finish the season trophyless after an underwhelming campaign in all competitions

Bruno Fernandes says having goal statistics is meaningless and of no importance despite reaching double figures for Manchester United this season.

The 27-year-old scored his 10th Premier League goal after he opened the scoring against Brentford as the Red Devils coasted to a comfortable 3-0 win at Old Trafford on Monday night.

According to a report via Goal, Fernandes has now admitted his priority with Manchester United is to win trophies and not score goals.

"It is a long time since I scored.
"Obviously I am happy but those numbers don't count for me. I want to get numbers with trophies and not with goals."

Bruno Fernandes is yet to win any trophy with Manchester United since he joined the English Premier League side from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020.

Fernandes admits Man United standards dropped this season

Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes agrees the standard at Manchester United dropped further this season as the Red Devils are about to finish the season without a single trophy Manchester Evening News reports.

The Red Devils stand a good chance of missing out on the UEFA Champions League for next season as they are currently 5 points behind Arsenal on 4th with just 2 games left in the league.

Fernandes says everyone at Manchester United is now focused on finishing the season on a high as a perfect springboard for a fresh start next season.

Red Devils return to winning ways

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Raphael Varane scored his first-ever Manchester United goal to help Manchester United beat Brentford 3-0 at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Bruno Fernandes put United on their way in the first half after some excellent work by Antony Elanga down the right side.

The Portuguese international turned in Elanga’s cross for his 50th goal in a Manchester United shirt.
