Manchester United attacker Bruno Fernandes claimed his side were “lazy” during their Premier League Summer Series clash with Everton yesterday and then issued a transfer demand to club chiefs.

After United drew 2-2 with the Toffees, the Portugal star said: “It’s improving, but it’s not where we want it to be.

“I don’t want to have a dig at anyone, but I think the club is doing the best they can in terms of all the financial situations they talk about.

“I don’t know about it, I’m not involved in that. But obviously it was crystal clear we needed more competition for the players that were here.

“We needed more quality to get everyone to step up a bit more and to have more to do to get into the starting line-up. I think that’s what the club and the manager are trying to do and hopefully we can get one or two players more to help with that.”
