Bruno Fernandes explains what Manchester United's players must do after 3-1 Arsenal win

Bruno Fernandes has credited intensity, fighting spirit and being hard to beat for Manchester United's good form.

Although Erik ten Hag began his reign at Old Trafford with two humiliating and brutal defeats, his side have emphatically responded to that disappointing start by winning four successive Premier League games for the first since April last year.

United defeated Arsenal 3-1 on Sunday afternoon and that result followed Thursday's 1-0 win against Leicester. The good feeling around the club has increased and the atmosphere at Old Trafford was electric at the weekend as the Reds beat Arsenal.

Fernandes spoke after the game and he sent a message to his teammates that winning must become a habit at the club.

"It has to become a habit [winning]," Fernandes told MUTV. "We know that playing for this club, it has to become a habit winning games. We want to do that, the fighting, the spirit, the togetherness has to be always there to get the three points.

"I thought that everyone was really compact, the togetherness was there, the fighting spirit, everything and that's why we get the points and have a performance like that. Sometimes you have to dig deep and defend, defend around your own box.

"The other team has quality and cause you problems, but if do like we did today then you don't concede that many and you score more than them because we know we can be a threat on counter-attacks and we can play a little bit more.

"Everyone is trying to follow what he [Ten Hag], but it's about itensity, fighting spirit, being hard to beat. We have the quality to score goals, we have players who can solve problems from anywhere and we know at ant moment we can score.

"If we are compact and we don't concede goals, and we have that good spirit, we press, we have a good intensity, we can get results."
