Man Utd ace Fernandes: We must stop conceding first

Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes has warned that his side cannot afford to go behind against Leeds United at the weekend.

The Red Devils went two goals down to Leeds at home in the Premier League on Wednesday.

While they did grab a 2-2 draw, Fernandes says that Leeds' time wasting makes it difficult to grab momentum when they are behind.

“It's really frustrating to be down in the first half straightaway," said Fernandes.

“In the second half we concede another goal – a little bit lucky from them, but we still concede another goal.

“ think we dominate all game. They had two goals, they had some more chances but not something really dangerous.

“To bounce back as we did was really good, but obviously we don't want to bounce back to 2-2. We wanted to bounce back to 3-2 and win the game. We didn't.

“We had some chances that a little bit unluckily we couldn't score from. They had too many players defending – they obviously waste some time with the goalkeeper.

“That is also part of the game, part of their game, so we have to learn with that and make ourselves be in a position that we can win games without being behind to the result."
