Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has branded his team's performance against Everton on Saturday afternoon "a disgrace".
The Red Devils missed the chance to temporarily move level on points with fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League table, as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park, with Anthony Gordon's deflected effort proving to be the difference between the two sides.
Ralf Rangnick's side again struggled to get going during an underwhelming performance, and De Gea has slammed his team's display on Merseyside.
The Spain international claimed that Man United are "not good enough" to finish in the top four this season, as they 'lack desire' and 'do not create proper chances to score'.
"We knew before today they were struggling and how difficult it was going to be," De Gea told BT Sport. "We don't score, we don't even create proper chances to score. I don't know what to say, to be honest. We're not good enough, that's for sure. It's going to be very difficult now to be in the top four.
"Of course it's not the perfect atmosphere. They were tired, they were nervous, but they keep going and keep fighting. They had more desire than us, which is not acceptable. It's very sad to lose today. It's a disgrace from us, we should be winning this game."
Man United, who sit down in seventh spot in the table, will be bidding to return to winning ways when they welcome Norwich City to Old Trafford next weekend.
