Bruno Fernandes says that “each point is massive” for Manchester United after their 2-0 passage to sneak a point in Everton on Saturday.
Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure gave the hosts a deserved advance at halftime, only so that Fernandes triggered a return by marking a free kick and sending another who led Manuel Ugar to obtain a 2-2 draw.
Everton received a last -minute penalty that was overthrown after a Var video review, and United escaped with a draw that always leaves them 15th in the standings.
Fernandes said: “Each point is now massive for us because we are in a position that is very difficult for us, that we should not be and unfortunately each point count for us at the moment.
“We must be aware that the position we are is not the best. This is not that this club must be, so we must demand more of ourselves, understanding that we need each point in the league from each match that we have in advance. “”

United returns to home action at Ipswich on Wednesday when Everton went to Brentford, seeking to win a fifth first League victory since the arrival of David Moyes.
They may think that they have already been deprived of the possibility of reaching this target, defender Jake O’Brien saying that they should have maintained their advance and a penalty for a fault on Ashley Young should not have be reversed after the intervention of the Var.
“We are going to take stock, but, at the end of the day, it looks like a loss,” said the defender of the Toffees. “We should have left with more.
“For 60 to 70 minutes, I think we were dominant and that we were playing well, but bad decisions or tired legs lost it for us at the end, and they punished us for that.
“I think it was a penalty. From what I could see, it looked obvious, it didn’t even look like something you would check, but I think he has taken, from what I think, a lot of bad decisions today ‘Hui. “”
