Bruno Fernandes makes feelings clear on current Man Utd crisis after heroics in Fulham win
Bruno Fernandes scored the winner as Man Utd beat Fulham in Saturday's Premier League clash
GETTY
Bruno Fernandes has insisted Manchester United must be more consistent after their narrow 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday.
The Portugal international scored the only goal of the game to lift the Red Devils and relieve some of the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.
United were flat in large periods and, had it not been for Fernandes, Harry Maguire and Andre Onana, could have slumped to defeat.
But the victory will be a huge boost for the club as they prepare for their upcoming Champions League clash with Copenhagen.

Fernandes is happy that United won, insisting they produced a 'good performance'.
But he also believes they must be more consistent if they're to climb up the Premier League table and save their manager from the sack.
"Everyone knows the situation is not the best, we lost the last two games and it wasn't the performances we wanted to give or the results but today it was a different game," he told TNT Sports.
"We had to give something different and we delivered.
"We got the three points and that's the most important thing.
"It's about the team, what everyone does on the pitch. Everyone has to sacrifice, run, work harder.
"Even on the goal, you could see everyone working hard to get the ball and that's what makes the goal.
"It was a good performance. We could create more chances but we still had good chances.
"First half, we had control of the game, second half was a more divided game but I think the biggest chances were always on our side and I think we deserved the win.
"It has to build confidence but we have to understand that we can still do more.
"Understand now that it is about getting results every time we play.
"Champions League is important for us to get three points. Difficult game away this week but we are Man Utd and we have to win every game."
Scott McTominay also spoke out - and the Scotland international thinks United must now use the match as a catalyst to ignite their season.
"It shouldn't just be this game, we can't get carried away, but when things are going against you, sometimes you have to come together and fight like dogs.
"It's a building block and I think we did more than enough to win the game in the end.
"We saw the banner before the game and the fans pay good money to come and see us, the support is relentless every single week and we just want to repay them as best we can.
"It's step by step, with the manager and the coaching staff, we trust them a lot, we trust the players and I feel like we can go on, kick on and do better.
"You have to pick each other up when things aren't going well.
"You need confidence, some need to feel like they're loved, others need a rocket sometimes.
"Everyone reacts differently and with the captain and the other senior player, I feel like we've got people who know the dressing room well and can bring everyone together to do better."
