On eve of new Premier League season, captain Bruno Fernandes calls for ‘more quality to get everyone to step up’.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes let rip at his teammates after their 2-2 preseason draw with fellow Premier League side Everton, saying their performance was “lazy” and calling for further reinforcements.
A second-half goal from Mason Mount had United on course for victory on Sunday 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 draw put a damper on the Old Trafford club’s tour of the United States after promising victories over West Ham United and Bournemouth last month.
“It’s been important for developing how we want to play and getting the new players involved too,” Fernandes told NBC Sports.
