David de Gea labels Manchester United ‘a disgrace’ after falling to Everton defeat

David de Gea blasted his Manchester United teammates as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Everton at Goodison Park.

There was little the Spaniard could do to keep out Anthony Gordon’s goal, which took a big deflection off Harry Maguire to wrong-foot the goalkeeper.

United struggled in the 63 minutes that followed and were unable to find an equaliser, against an Everton side that had lost five of their last six matches in all competitions.

It’s a defeat that surely ends United’s hopes of Champions League football next season, as they now trail Tottenham by six points, and De Gea was less than impressed with what the visitors produced against Frank Lampard’s side.

“We don’t score, we don’t even create proper chances to score,” De Gea said.

“I don’t know what to say, to be honest. We’re not good enough, that’s for sure.

“They played Wednesday and they were tired but they had more desire than us, that is not acceptable. Very sad to lose today.

“It is a disgrace from us, we should be winning this game. It’s going to be very difficult now to be in the top four.”
