Manchester United’s 1-2 defeat to Sevilla in the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League has sent shockwaves across the club.

The club’s Portuguese superstar Bruno Fernandes has issued a heartfelt message to the fans on Instagram:

Unfortunately our journey in the @europaleague ends here. It wasn’t what we expected. We wanted to be in the final and fight for the trophy we so desired. Whilst we congratulate @sevillafc for making it to the final, we still played well and we didn’t deserve to stop here. It is now time for rest and to reflect so that we come back even stronger ?? and reach the goals we set ourselves for the next season! Thank you to all my teammates and staff who welcomed me so well over these past months at the Red Devils. I hope to continue to learn and grow everyday with you, and that we conquer many titles in the future! Together we loose , together we make mistakes and together we grow ?? #MUFC

The Portuguese playmaker has been a fan favourite since joining the club from Sporting CP in January. Bruno is often seen as calm and composed on the pitch and from the penalty spot but was seen showing his emotions in the match as he was involved in a bust with Victor Lindelof after Sevilla’s second goal.

The Playmaker downplayed the fight with this teammate, stating:

“I think when we take a goal it is the fault from everyone, starting in the front,” said Fernandes post-match.

“We can’t take a goal from a throw-in in the first half, we need to be better in pressing, they can’t come up so easily. After comes mistake after mistake. We are mad when we take a goal, but the fault is from everyone, not from one player to take the fall, but all the team.

“It’s not about me or Victor, it’s about everything. What happened between us is nothing. It’s normal. It’s football. It happens. It’s looking out for each other.

“This thing will happen many more times in other teams. The most important thing now is seeing the mistakes we made and look forward to improving in the next games.

"It's normal. It's nothing.."

The defeat may not have been the outcome the players were looking for, but it looks like all is right between the players again.
