United had a bright start during the Saturday, October 2, encounter and were ahead at the stroke of halftime courtesy of Anthony Martial's strike.

However, Everton levelled matters in the second-half following a quick counter-attack which Andros Townsend finished off with a fine strike that left David de Gea dazed.

Despite having loads of goalscoring chances in the early exchanges, the Red Devils failed to create clear cut opportunities in the second half.

Fernandes now believes he and his teammates were largely at fault for slacking in the second half thereby costing the side three crucial points.

"I think it’s really difficult for us, I think we played really well first half, created a lot of chances. In the second half we slowed it down again, once again we made that mistake," Fernandes said.
"We have to learn, the time is now because we cannot do this anymore. We did it so many times, we cannot slow down the game when we are winning," he added.

The result, meanwhile, meant that United have dropped points in two consecutive Premier League matches.

The Ole Gunnar Solskjaer-tutored side will now shift focus to their next Premier League clash against Leicester City after the international break.

Watford boss sacked

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported Watford Spanish boss Xisco Munoz has been relieved of his duties as coach of the Vicarage Road outfit.

The Hornets have lost six games in all competitions this season, managing to win only two which put them in 14th position.

Munoz was employed at the club in December 2020 and helped them with qualification into the Premier League.
