Man Utd 'improving' after capturing Premier League Summer Series, says Fernandes

Manchester United were crowned champions of the Premier League Summer Series after drawing with Everton in a match in which Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring. The Manchester United captain spoke to the press after the draw against the Toffees.

"It's improving," Fernandes told 'Sky Sports' after the match. "I think the club is doing the best that they can.

"We needed more competition for the players that were here. We needed more quality to get everyone to step up a little bit more, to have more to do to get into the first 11. I think that's what the club is trying to do, the manager, and hopefully we can get one or two players more to help with that."

Manchester United finished last season 15th in the Premier League, their worst showing since relegation in 1973-74, managing only 11 wins and nine drawn from 38 matches.

"I think a lot of people have suffered from this," Fernandes said. "The fans pay more for the tickets and we really appreciate all the efforts they do for us. So it's up to us now players to repay it on the pitch."

Fernandes said the club is working to improve from team and staff to facilities.

"It's every detail. Every small thing matters," Fernandes said. "At this football club, you can't do anything wrong on the pitch and off the pitch because it's too big worldwide. The culture of this club was winning. It was there. And we need to bring back that."
