The Red Devils earned a final point in Atlanta to top the table with seven in the preseason friendly tournament, having previously beaten West Ham 2-1 and Bournemouth 4-1 in the round-robin US tour.

"It's improving," Fernandes told Sky Sports after the match. "I think the club is doing the best that they can.

"We needed more competition for the players that were here. We needed more quality to get everyone to step up a little bit more, to have more to do to get into the first II. I think that’s what the club is trying to do, the manager, and hopefully we can get one or two players more to help with that."

Manchester United finished last season 15th in the Premier League, their worst showing since relegation in 1973-74, managing only 11 wins and nine drawn from 38 matches.

"I think a lot of people have suffered from this," Fernandes said. "The fans pay more for the tickets and we really appreciate all the efforts they do for us. "So it's up to us now players to repay it on the pitch."
