Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has issued a stern warning to his teammates ahead of their crucial Premier League encounter with Southampton at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

Fernandes Warns Against Complacency Ahead of Southampton Clash

Speaking to the media, Fernandes emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and intensity throughout the 90 minutes. "Southampton are one of those games where I don't want any of us to disconnect for five seconds," he stated. "They have good players with quality, and we need to be switched on from the first whistle."

Fernandes highlighted the danger of complacency that can often arise when facing teams perceived as lesser opponents. "When you don't play the big teams, there can be a tendency to underestimate your opponent, to perhaps mentally disconnect for a brief moment," he explained. "But in the Premier League, five seconds of complacency can be costly against any team."

The Portuguese midfielder stressed the importance of maintaining the high standards set by the team in recent weeks. "Whether they're [the opposition] below or above us in the table, we just need to look at ourselves and understand that we're playing for a massive club," Fernandes emphasized. "We have to set a standard for ourselves and strive to achieve it in every single game."

Fernandes' message reflects the manager's emphasis on a consistent work ethic and a winning mentality. The team has shown signs of significant improvement under the new manager, and maintaining this level of intensity will be crucial for their continued success.
