De Gea insists five trophyless seasons for United is not good enough

David de Gea looked deflated as the long-serving goalkeeper reflected on 'another bad year' for Manchester United following the meek Champions League exit to Atletico Madrid.

The rudderless Red Devils will end a fifth-straight campaign without a trophy and face an uphill battle to return to European football's top table as a poor season hurtles towards a disappointing conclusion.

The Champions League offered hope, albeit faint, of a first trophy since lifting the Europa League in 2017, but wily Atletico extinguished those hopes.

"It's difficult to put into words how we feel..."

"Five years without a trophy is not good enough. It's hard."
