‘Each point is massive’ for Manchester United

Bruno Fernandes says that “each point is massive” for Manchester United after they arrived from 2-0 to sneak in Everton on Saturday.

Beto and Abdouye Doucoure gave the hosts a deserved part-time advantage, just for Fernandes to return scoring a free kick and sending another that took Manuel Ugarte to ensure a 2-2 draw.

Everton received a last -minute penalty that was revoked after a VAR video review, and United escaped with a draw that still leaves them 15º in the classification.

Fernandes said: “Each point is now huge for us because we are in a position that is very difficult for us, that we should not be and unfortunately each point counts for us at this time.

“We must be aware that the position we are is not the best. It is not where this club should be, so we must demand more of ourselves, understanding that we need each point in the league from now on in each game we have ahead. “

United returns to home action to Ipswich on Wednesday, when Everton travels to Brentford seeking to ensure a fifth victory in the Premier League since David Moyes arrived.

They may feel that they have already stole the opportunity to achieve that goal, with defender Jake O’Brien saying that they should have had their leadership and that a penalty for a foul on Ashley Young should not have been reversed after the intervention of the VAR.

“We will take the point, but, at the end of the day, it feels like a loss,” said the defender of the toffee. “We should have left with more.

“For 60 to 70 minutes, I think we were dominant and played well, but bad decisions or tired legs lost it to us at the end, and they punished us for it.

“I think it was a penalty. From what I could see, it seemed obvious, it did not even resemble something to verify, but I think it has taken, for what I think, many wrong decisions today. “
