Bruno Fernandes says Manchester United's current malaise is “not OK” and any player who thinks it is should leave.
United suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat at home to Brighton yesterday, their sixth loss in their last nine league matches, after which coach Ruben Amorim admitted that it was perhaps “the worst team in the history of Manchester United.”
The Amorim team is rudderless once again and captain Fernandez is demanding that the players solve the problem and quickly.
He told Sky Sports: “I understand the view from the outside. But we can't be comfortable thinking this is a good thing. It's not.
“I'm not here to lose games and be in the situation we're in now. But I know there's no one in the locker room, and if there was someone, they couldn't be here.

Brighton's win continued their dominance over United. The Seagulls have now won six of their last seven meetings including three at Old Trafford, and that has not been of interest to Portuguese midfielder Fernandes.
He added: “I don't care. It's another loss for us. It doesn't matter how many times they beat us.
“I remember in the past they never won a game here. It won't change anything.
“The main thing that will change for us is that we did not get the three points today. Congratulations to them, they played a good match and deserved to win the match.”
United have a chance to bounce back on Thursday evening when they host Rangers in the Europa League. Their next league match will be next Sunday against Fulham.
