Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes keen for win over Liverpool to inspire team

Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes is determined to end a poor season on a high after Sunday's jaw-dropping and "spicy" FA Cup quarter-final win against Liverpool.With immense pressure on manager Erik ten Hag and his misfiring side, the Red Devils secured a remarkable 4-3 victory in stoppage time of extra time through substitute Amad Diallo.His strike sparked wild celebrations and secured an FA Cup semi-final against Coventry, breathing new life into a season that had threatened to go into a tailspin.Asked if he had ever seen scenes like that at Old Trafford before, captain Fernandes said: "I think the last year probably against Liverpool, it was the turnaround of last season and kind of the same."Today the game got a little bit spicy, a little more special because it’s an FA Cup game and if you lose, you’re out."We know the rivalry between fans, we know how United fans wanted us to win the game to give us something to celebrate because it’s not been great for us."The key victory Fernandes referenced came in August 2022 after Ten Hag began his United reign with defeats to Brighton and Brentford.That season ended up with Carabao Cup glory, reaching the FA Cup final and a third-placed league finish and the Dutchman hopes Sunday can be the turning point after several false dawns as they look to chase down a Champions League finish."We’ve talked about turnarounds but have never done the next step," Fernandes said. "But I think we have to understand the FA Cup is a thing and the Premier League is another one."In the league now, we have 10 matches to go and we don’t depend on ourselves but as we saw Tottenham losing points to Fulham, Villa losing points to West Ham."But our main goal is to not lose points to Brentford
