Annoyed, definitely. I expected something different.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I hoped before the game that we could build on the performance and result from Chelsea, so it\u2019s very disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are really inconsistent. We have the abilities to do it, but you have to do it every game and every third day.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As a group, we have to improve and get tougher. We have to be ready for the game from the start. In this league, if you are not playing on the highest levels, you get killed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You have to start right and 100 per cent focused. It can\u2019t happen that the opponent is more eager than you are. You can\u2019t make such mistakes at this level, opponents will take benefit from it. You can\u2019t switch off and that\u2019s what happened. We have to work on that if we want to be successful. If you want to reach the targets you\u2019ve set, you have to be consistent.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I understand the fans\u2019 disappointment and frustration. We are as well because we should do better. We have to show it every game and not with such big difference in levels.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Captain Bruno Fernandes admitted that United simply couldn\u2019t match Bournemouth\u2019s intensity. The Portugal star\u2019s frustration got the better of him at the end when he picked up a booking for dissent, which will see him suspended for next weekend\u2019s clash with Liverpool at Anfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They were more intense than us. They wanted it more,\u2019 Fernandes said. \u2018They really deserved the result. We should have performed much better.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We should have expected the intensity of their game but we under-performed in our levels and that\u2019s why we don\u2019t get the result.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019re not consistent enough, obviously.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/09\/22\/78777049-12845885-Captain_Bruno_Fernandes_admitted_that_United_simply_couldn_t_mat-a-108_1702159515922.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Captain Bruno Fernandes admitted that United simply couldn\u2019t match Bournemouth\u2019s intensity<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think the last period we had really good results, even more in the Premier League, but that\u2019s not enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If you want to be in the top spots, you have to do it every three days. You know that\u2019s going to be tough.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Every team play good football, every team are intense and have qualities, so you have to be more consistent in everything you do.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The fans are not used to this. They don\u2019t want to be in this situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We don\u2019t want to be in this situation either and we completely understand their frustrations.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Bournemouth celebrated their first ever win at Old Trafford thanks to goals from Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi.<\/p>\n<p>And the margin of victory could have been even greater, as Andoni Iraola\u2019s side also had two goals disallowed, while Solanke also hit the post.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018To win away at Old Trafford is magnificent,\u2019 said Solanke, who now has nine goals for the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s one of the best stadiums in the world and one of the best clubs in the world, so the boys are delighted to come and win.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s easy to probably get intimidated here but we kept our heads.
