Everton manager Frank Lampard insisted that he would 'just keep working' after the Toffees suffered a 4-1 defeat at home to Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday night.
The defeat at Goodison Park was the Merseyside club's third home loss in a row - with the Blues having won just three Premier League matches all season. Lampard's men currently find themselves precariously placed above the relegation zone.
The home side conceded three goals in six second half minutes, and supporters made their feeling clear with chants of disapproval aimed towards the club board. However, Lampard has claimed that he cannot control speculation surrounding his future and will instead focus on the upcoming FA Cup clash against United.

Lampard was asked whether he was worried about his position, to which he responded: "You are working always, the only concern you can have is the work you do the next day because since the minute I got here we were in a relegation battle and that is something that you have to handle and it might mean results or days like this and you just have to focus on going again because it is the things you can control, simple as that."
He added: "Since I have been in here we have been in this situation, of a relegation battle last year and through this season really, so it's not a case of fear [for the future], it's a case of just keep working.
"I can't control the talk or the decisions, when you around this area of the table this is what happens. You lose a game like this, I absolutely understand any reaction. I don't listen to too much of it because if you do it becomes your focal point, so I don't focus on it."
Meanwhile, United's 3-0 victory over Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Tuesday stretched their winning to six matches in all competitions. The Reds will be keen to progress in the FA Cup this season, with the club having lost to Middlesbrough on penalties last term.
