There was one quote in particular from Bruno Fernandes which summed up the alarmingly poor attitude among Manchester United\u2019s players.<\/p>\n
It was his admission that they thought it was \u2018going to be easy\u2019. United underestimated Bournemouth and they were schooled because of that.<\/p>\n
I was at Old Trafford to witness this latest shambolic showing from Erik ten Hag\u2019s team. They lost possession 161 times. Fernandes accounted for 22 of those. He tried to play Hollywood passes and ended up in Hartlepool (no offence to any Monkey Hangers reading this).<\/p>\n
Then he earned a yellow card for acting like a cry-baby towards the end of this beating. That was his fifth of the season, so he\u2019s now banned for Sunday\u2019s trip to Liverpool \u2014 a fixture United lost 7-0 last season. It was more poor leadership from the captain.<\/p>\n
He was not the only culprit, of course. The attitude Fernandes mentioned post-match is a dressing-room problem.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bruno Fernandes and the rest of the Man United players do not have the right attitude\u00a0<\/p>\n
United\u2019s players may think it will magically happen for them but, in reality, you have to be the ones to make it happen.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t get freebies in this division. You get defeats if you rock up thinking you\u2019ve won before a ball is kicked.<\/p>\n
There is a reason why United have now lost more Premier League matches at home since Sir Alex Ferguson retired (35) than they did during his 21 PL seasons in charge (34). The attitude stinks and until they correct it the club will not move forward.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Reds suffered another crushing defeat as they were well beaten by Bournemouth\u00a0<\/p>\n
