Captain unhappy with display in 2-2 Everton draw

‘It’s not the place it needs to be,’ he says of the squad

Manchester United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, let rip at his teammates after their 2-2 pre-season draw with Everton, saying their performance was “lazy” and calling for further reinforcements.

A second-half goal from Mason Mount had United on course for victory in Atlanta, Georgia, after Fernandes’s opener was cancelled out by Iliman Ndiaye, but a bizarre 75th-minute own goal by Ayden Heaven gifted Everton the draw.

The result put a slight damper on United’s tour of the US, after promising victories over West Ham United and Bournemouth.
