But MU then managed to reverse the situation. Four straight wins, including Liverpool 2-1 and Arsenal 3-1. The gray clouds at Old Trafford are slowly disappearing.
Fernandes in an interview with The Athletic admitted that United players were initially concerned that the poor results of the previous season would be repeated, but that anxiety has slowly disappeared thanks to the good performances on the pitch.
“You can feel among us, among the fans, that the situation at that moment was like stepping back in time. Everyone’s confidence was low again. We weren’t afraid, but we didn’t feel good about the ball,” said Fernandes.
“Sometimes I feel like a ghost of the past. Then against Brentford the situation got worse. We conceded easily and suddenly you see the lack of energy in this team, even the confidence decreases.”
Fernandes praised Ten Hag for lifting team morale from adversity. Now the confidence of HM players has returned.
“First, he has an idea. He also has a style of play. We have to follow the rules. He’s very strict about it, but I like it,” Fernandes continued of Ten Hag.
“Bring discipline, something that I think has been lost in the past. Everyone should have the same understanding.”
“This is what Pep (Guardiola) and (Juergen) Klopp have been doing for years. They have stability in the club, move in the market and build a team, which is very important for them to win titles,” he explained.
