David de Gea hits out against Manchester United squad after 'disgraceful' Everton defeat

David de Gea has admitted Manchester United's performance against Everton was 'disgraceful'.

United have endured a miserable season, but Saturday afternoon's defeat against relegation-threatened Everton felt like a new low. United's hopes of securing Champions League football were all but ended following a spineless performance.

Although Jordan Pickford made two important saves to deny Marcus Rashford in the first half, United failed to trouble Everton after they went a goal behind. United failed to respond to Anthony Gordon's effort and looked utterly dysfunctional.

De Gea was the first United player to emerge from the dressing room after the whistle and he branded the result a 'disgrace'.

"It is a disgrace from us, we should be winning this game," De Gea told the BBC.

"We don’t score but we don’t create proper chances to score. We are not good enough, that is for sure. It will be difficult to be in the top four. They played Wednesday and they were tired but they had more desire than us, that is not acceptable.

"Very sad to lose today."

United are now fighting for Europa League qualification.
