Fernandes laments ‘mood of defeat’ as Man Utd crumble in Como

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes lamented the "mood of defeat" after his team suffered a 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como on Wednesday. The Portuguese midfielder claimed United conceded early, which set a negative tone for the match. United struggled to establish control, with poor movement and few opportunities to create chances.

Fernandes suggested that the early goal from Nico Paz had a detrimental impact, leaving United to fight an uphill battle. The loss extended United's winless streak to seven games in the competition. Fernandes also criticized the team's passive approach in possession, stating that Como dominated play and dictated the game's tempo.

Youri Tielemans echoed Fernandes' disappointment, acknowledging that United's performance was far from good enough.
