Fernandes Slams 'Lazy' United

Captain critical of draw with Everton, says the team need more reinforcements

- 

ATLANTA Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes let rip at his teammates following their 2-2 pre-season draw with fellow English 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 in Atlanta, Georgia, after Fernandes' opener was cancelled out by Iliman Ndiaye, but a bizarre 75th-minute own goal by Ayden Heaven gifted Everton the draw on Aug 3.

The draw was a slight blemish on the Red Devils' Premier League Summer Series tour of the United States, after promising victories over West Ham United and Bournemouth in July.

"It's been important for developing how we want to play and getting the new players involved too," Fernandes told NBC Sports at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

"We didn't want to finish in this way. Our performance wasn't the best and we were a little bit lazy today. We want to avoid that because with laziness you can pay at any moment."
