Bruno Fernandes will be hoping to help Manchester United end the season on a high in the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Bruno Fernandes has insisted he remains committed to turning Manchester United's fortunes around and claimed his 'Spotify Wrapped' is more than enough proof.

United stuttered to a disappointing eight-placed finish in the Premier League and the European qualification spots.


Their only chance of playing European football next season is if they win the FA Cup against rivals Manchester City, who have been celebrating their fourth consecutive Premier League title this week.

Pep Guardiola's side are the strong favourites to get the job done with United not showing the kind of form that could potentially cause City problems.

Fernandes was named United's new captain last summer and he's taken heavy criticism for his first year with the armband.

There have been some questions on whether the Portugal international would look to move on from Old Trafford this summer to join a team playing in the Champions League.

However, Fernandes has written an emotional letter to the club's supporters stating his desire to stay with the club and get them back on track.

"After this difficult season, it is my responsibility to give more," Fernandes wrote.

"It starts with me. And it starts tomorrow.

"We have to give everything in this last match against City, and we have to move forward.

"I love to step out at Old Trafford more than anything in the world. I don’t want to leave. This has always been my ultimate dream.

"I just want my expectations to fit with the expectations of the club. If you go talk to any fan, they will tell you the same thing.

"We want to compete for the league. We want to be playing Champions League football. We want to be in cup finals. That is the standard. That is what I want. That is what you all deserve.

"I just want to keep fighting. I want to be here. My family wants to be here.

"If you doubt that for a moment, then you just have to look at my Spotify Wrapped, and that will prove it to you….

"Erik ten Hag will be battling to save his job in Saturday's FA Cup final too with mounting pressure on the club's ownership group to bring in somebody new.

But the Dutchman still believes he is the best man for the job to turn things around at United.

When asked whether he felt the FA Cup final could be his final match in charge, Ten Hag replied: "I have nothing to say.

"I'm just focusing on the job I have to do.

"That is first to win the game on Saturday and then we are in the project. Keep going in the project.

"After every season you review it and see where you are in the project and what things may need to change.

"We spoke lately about it. There are players developing and values going up."
