Bruno Fernandes

“I was really good, I had a coach who said to me, 'If you want to be a top player, you will need to play as a central defender. If you want to be a good player, you will be a midfielder.' I think he was wrong but, maybe as a central defender, I could be much better, I don't know!”

“You need to win the games no matter how.”

“I want to win every time, this mentality will be with me for the rest of my life.”

“I played central defender for the most part when I started playing football, either central defence or right-back.”

“I see people talking about Bruno not doing so well against the 'big six.' People have said Bruno gives the ball away too many times when we lose a game.”

“You have to trust your team-mates, you have to trust yourself, and you have to believe.”

“Because of Cristiano, my dream team in England was United.”

“I want to be the best I can and if it is possible be remembered like one of the best in Manchester.”

“When you come to a new club you always want to score, and the first goal is special. It doesn't matter how the goal is scored, but important is the goal's worth.”

“We want to show our best qualities we can but the most important thing for us, for the team, is winning.”

“My target is to score the most goals I can and assist my team-mates to score to.”

“For me it's really the same, assist or goal, I don't choose. If I can do one of them or both it's good, the most important thing is the team winning.”

“I am confident when I take the penalty otherwise I would pass for somebody else.”

“Yes, it was my dream to play in the Premier League and fortunately for me my dream is also to play for Manchester United.”

“What goes on in the pitch, out of it, for me, it's past.”

“When I received the call saying: 'Bruno, you have the chance of moving to Manchester' I called my wife, my brother, my sister, my mother and just started crying. But I was crying through happiness.”

“Every goal is a great moment, every win is a great moment for us.”

“If we win trophies, it is the most important thing. Of course, it's good for a player to win individual awards and I will never say I don't want to be the best player in the league or I don't want to be the PFA Player of the Season.”

“I look for every game in the same way. And I think the league is not a sprint, it's a marathon. So you don't have to score or win against the big six - you have to score and win against everyone.”

“I came to Manchester to win trophies.”
