Fernandes' penalty and a beauty from Mason Mount twice put United in front in their final Summer Series game, only for comical errors to see Everton level through Iliman Ndiaye and an Ayden Heaven own goal. And Fernandes, caught up in his own spat with Ndiaye in the lead-up to the second equaliser, admitted: 'It's not where we want it to be. 'It's every detail, every small detail matters. Our performance wasn't the best off the ball.

‘We need to do a lot of work still' – Man Utd boss Amorim fires warning to stars and laments ‘struggles' versus Everton
RUBEN AMORIM fired a warning to his players after Manchester United laboured to a draw with Everton. The Portuguese boss was not happy with his team's performance in the 2-2 stalemate. 2 2 He identified areas in which his side struggled but was at least pleased at the chances created, which helped the Red Devils avoid defeat And it would have been victory if not for Ayden Heaven 's own goal 15 minutes from time. United were twice pegged back after going in front and Amorim felt his side struggled at times. He told MUTV: "We struggled a little bit, so it's just that feeling of not performing like we're supposed to do. But it was OK. "We struggled a little bit with longer balls, not just the second balls, but the first balls. "We struggled in the build-up, but we created chances and that is really important to win any match. "You can perform, I don't like to say bad, but we can struggle a little bit in the game. But if you create chances you can win even that kind of game." Bruno Fernandes was involved in an ugly altercation with Everton goalscorer Iliman Ndiaye. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK The United captain chased after Ndiaye during an Everton counter-attack and kicked out at him. Ndiaye was incensed by the lunging kick, which seemingly had no chance of nicking the ball away, and immediately turned to confront Fernandes. Tempers began to flare from there with the pair trading shoves on the half-way line and attracting the interest of teammates who tried to pull them apart. Mason Mount took the brunt of the anger as he stepped in to calm things down, seemingly been grabbed round the neck by Ndiaye.
