Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes felt he and his teammates “were a little bit lazy” during their 2-2 draw with Everton in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
United<\/a> brought their pre-season tour of the United States to a close with a stalemate against the Toffees at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but it was enough to see them clinch the Premier League<\/a> Summer Series trophy.<\/p>\n Fernandes<\/a> opened the scoring from the spot before Everton levelled things up shortly before half-time through Iliman Ndiaye.<\/p>\n After Mason Mount<\/a> had put United back in front with just over 20 minutes to go, United conceded another cheap goal six minutes later when a Toffees counter-attack resulted in Amad turning the ball into his own net via an unfortunate touch off Ayden Heaven,<\/p>\n Although United can look back on their pre-season tour with a plenty to be positive about, Fernandes rued their lack of effort without the ball against David Moyes’ team.<\/p>\n “It was positive,” Fernandes told NBC Sports, when reflecting on the tour. “Obviously it was positive to be together, to create a bond between the players, to get into the way we want to play and to involve the new ones and everything.<\/p>\n “But obviously we didn’t want to finish in this way; our performance wasn’t the best. Off the ball, I think we were a little bit lazy today.<\/p>\n “We have to avoid that because the laziness means you can pay at any moment. By one mistake from me, we ended up at 2-2.”<\/p>\n The countdown is on to the 2025\/26 Premier League campaign – and our pre-season guide<\/a> is the ideal way to prepare for the action ahead.<\/p>\n As well as in-depth analysis and opinion on your club, we turn the spotlight on every team battling for top-flight glory – or simply survival in the toughest league in the world!<\/p>\n Also full fixtures guide so you don’t miss a game in what is set to be a thrilling season.<\/p>\n Get your copy NOW<\/a><\/p>\n Here at the Manchester Evening News, we’re dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester United coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n Make sure you don’t miss out on the latest United news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
