Bruno Fernandes has spoken of Manchester United's 'sad' locker room after their defeats to Brighton and Brentford to open the season. United sit bottom of the Premier League, and Fernandes has revealed that the morale has been low after both games so far.
He also surprisingly spoke of a 'lack of trust' between the players on the pitch, adding that the team has been low on confidence since their crushing loss to Brighton, admitting they should have responded better before being embarrassed by Brentford, losing 4-0.
Speaking to Portuguese outlet Record, he said: "It's been a difficult start, nobody is prepared to start like that at this club. But there is no better game to give an answer, for us and for our ambitions. It's because of the lack of trust between us. With Brighton, when we suffered the goal we felt that mistrust that came from last year. It's mainly confidence. That's what we have to recover.

"It's a sad locker room, a bit dejected by the results. Expectations were high after the pre-season we had. The locker room knows it's not at the level it needs to be. We need to look in the mirror and do better than what we've been doing."
However, he would add that he feels that there will be no long-term issues caused by this, and expects the team to bounce back. He added: "There is no problem in the dressing room, quite the opposite."
Fernandes recently responded to Gabby Agbonlahor's criticism of both himself and the club.
He revealed a phone call from Juan Mata calmed him down following Agbonlahor's criticism who went in on the United player and labelled him 'the worst possible teammate' before adding that he "gets away with murder".
