Fernandes Takes Responsibility for Poor Performances at Man Utd

The Portuguese player has not been performing at his usual level and has been shown two red cards this season (although one was later overturned).

While the 30-year-old enjoys time away from United on international duty, he spoke about his club form. 

"As for the club, I want to improve as soon as I get there and make sure the goals start coming again," Fernandes told Portuguese media. 

"I have to take responsibility for that, too, because I'm a midfielder who scores a lot of goals. 

"Over the years, I've always been at a very high level in terms of goals, and I have to live up to that, with those expectations. 

"I also have my own standards, I don't hold back on that. I haven't scored for the club yet (this season) and I hope that as soon as I get there I can score and help the club get back to winning ways and to a good level."
