David de Gea has already given Manchester United team talk ahead of Watford clash

David de Gea has already given Manchester United's team talk ahead of their clash with Watford this afternoon.

Josh King, Ismaila Sarr, Joao Pedro and Emmanuel Bonaventure all found the back of the net at Vicarage Road in a humiliating 4-1 defeat for United earlier this season.

United's only goalscorer that day, Donny van de Beek, has now moved out on loan to Everton but the manner of the loss is likely to still haunt him as much as the rest of the squad.

"Embarrassing first-half - we could've conceded four goals in 45 minutes. It was hard to watch the team playing today - it was nightmare after nightmare. It's not acceptable.

"We are trying to give our best and fight for the team but for sure something is very wrong. You can see in the games - it's very low level, very poor. Sorry to the fans, once again.

"I've been in difficult moments and always believe in myself but there are difficult moments where we have to be strong in mind and body. We are paid to play for United and to do better than that.

"This is not Manchester United or the way we ought to play - it's difficult to say more than that.

"It's been very bad for a long time - a club like Man United we have to be fighting for trophies and fighting for big things and to be honest we are far from that.

"Let's see - we have to keep working
