Manchester United's pre-season tour of the United States hit a snag with a 2-2 draw against Everton, drawing ire from team captain Bruno Fernandes. The standout midfielder criticized his teammates for displaying 'lazy' efforts and called for more reinforcements to elevate team quality.

Despite promising victories over West Ham United and Bournemouth, the draw against Everton highlighted ongoing issues within the squad following a lackluster 2024-25 Premier League season where they finished 15th. As Fernandes put it, avoiding laziness is crucial, and the club is focusing on strengthening during the transfer window.

Manager Ruben Amorim echoed Fernandes's sentiments, emphasizing that understanding the situation is a positive step. With key additions like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, United aims to revitalize and improve ahead of their clash with Arsenal on August 17.
