Speaking at full-time, Fernandes was asked what he thinks are the main differences between Man United and Liverpool at his moment in time. The Portugal international went on to provide a message to the club’s fans.
"The fans don't deserve us to play this way,” Fernandes told Sky Sports. “They deserve more from us
“The way they stay and applaud us, they deserve more. We have to raise our level higher. It is what it is.
"I think everyone runs. I think there is effort from everyone. I don't think someone does not give 100%. We have to do it for ourselves, the clubs, the fans and everyone.
"We have to say things but that is kept in the dressing room. Now it is over we have to think of the next game.
"Liverpool is ready for the title. We are not. I don't need to be here saying about the difference of the level. We have to look at ourselves, from top to bottom and understand what is going wrong.
“We are competing until the end. Nobody can put down and think it is over. We have something to fight for."
