Bruno Fernandes says ‘Every point is huge’ for Manchester United after they have come from 2-0 to sneak a point in Everton on Saturday.
Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure gave the hosts a deserved peace ahead, only for Fernandes to generate a comeback by scoring a free kick and sending another that led Manuel Ugarte a 2-2 draw safely.
Everton received a last-minute penalty that was destroyed after a VAR video review, and United escaped with a draw that still leaves them in the rankings 15th.
Fernandes said: “Every point is now huge for us because we are in a position that is very difficult for us, that we should not be at the moment and unfortunately every point counts for us.
“We must be aware that the position we are is not the best. It is not where this club should be, so we need to demand more of ourselves, understanding that from now on we need every point in the competition on every game we have. “

United returns to Action to Ipswich at home on Wednesday, when Everton travels to Brentford in search of a fifth Premier League win since David Moyes arrived.
They may feel that they have been robbed of the chance to achieve that goal, with defender Jake O’Brien that they should have given their lead and that a fine for an error 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 a bit like a loss,” said the defender of Toffees. “We should have gone away with more.
“For 60 to 70 minutes I think we were dominant and played well, but bad decisions or tired legs lost it for us at the end, and they punished us for it.
“I think it was a punishment. From what I could see, it clearly looked, it didn’t even look like something that you would check, but I think he made a lot of wrong decisions today. “
