David de Gea agrees with Manchester United fans about performance against Everton

David de Gea is delighted with Manchester United's win against Everton, but he thinks more goals should have been scored.

Erik ten Hag warned that Everton would be difficult opponents because they're fighting for survival in the Premier League, but United controlled the contest from the first whistle and peppered Jordan Pickford with a barrage of attempts.

United recorded 21 shots in the first half, their most in an opening 45 minutes of a Premier League match since 2003/2004, and they made a deserved breakthrough in the 36th minute when Scott McTominay found the net.

It was another important win for United and De Gea, speaking to MUTV, reflected on the performance after the game.

"We controlled the game from the beginning to the end, we created a lot of chances and we should have probably scored more goals, to be honest, but a great performance from the team and it was enjoyable.

"We created many, many chances and we didn't give many away. We played so well from the back, keeping the ball, creating massive chances, but like I say, we should have scored more and it would have been easier in the second half.

"Anyway, we played really good football and I'm so happy. At 1-0, you never know, especially against teams like Everton, they can create a chance from nowhere, like a long ball, but I think we defended
