Bruno Fernandes has admitted Manchester United's defeat against Arsenal was tough to take, but he also insisted the team 'can take positives' from their performance.

Gabriel Jesus then made it 3-1 at the death when United committed players forward in the hope of an equaliser. Fernandes emerged from the dressing room after the final whistle and he gave his reaction to the late drama.
