After their season reached a new low at Goodison Park, David de Gea described Manchester United's 0-1 defeat toEverton as a disgrace.
The United goalkeeper was not going to allow Anthony Gordon to get away with a goal after seeing his side suffer their third defeat in five matches.
It is a disgrace from us and we should win the game.
The problem is that we don't create. Proper chances to score are not created by us. I don't know what to say.
We are not good enough. It is going to be difficult to be in the top four.
Despite the hosts having just two days to recover from Wednesday's crushing 3-2 defeat to Burnley, United were outfought by the visitors.
He said that they knew before they were struggling that it was difficult to play here even when they were not in a good mood.
They played on Wednesday, they were tired, nervous, and even though they lost the game, you could feel it.
It is not the perfect atmosphere. You could see that they were tired and nervous, but they kept fighting and won. They had more desire than we did. It is very sad to lose today, and that is not acceptable.
The top four looks difficult to achieve now after a run of one win in five games, according to United's boss.
We have to be disappointed if you don't score a goal in 95 minutes. We had a good start and should have created more chances. We lost a bit of our composure after we conceded the shot.
The second half we were trying to add creativity with substitution but we did not always make the right decision.
We had to do something. We decided to bring Mata and more verticality with us. In the last 35 minutes, they were defending. We did not find the right player at the right time. When we played crosses, we didn't have enough players in the box.
It is not only creativity. I think we had a lot of creativity on the pitch. Being physical in the final third and trying to score a goal is what it is about. We did not have enough players in the box.
It is difficult on United's top-four hopes. It doesn't make sense to hope for good results from other teams if we don't win our own games
Fred had some problems with his hip flexor. McTominay is already gone. It isn't good for us if we don't have both defensive midfielders.
The imminent announcement of Ten Hag could be viewed as an unwanted distraction, but he said: "I don't think this should be an excuse." We are from Manchester United. There are a lot of international players. There shouldn't be an alibi. There will be a new manager. If this is announced in the next 10 days, it shouldn't have an impact.
Sky Sports is at Goodison Park.
This was a high-stakes clash that was very different from the one between Manchester andLiverpool. The meeting of two of the game's greatest minds is a masterpiece between the league's title protagonists in a class of their own.
Goodison Park hosted a festival of doomed clubs in desperate need of a reset. But they are still alive. This was a step in the right direction.
Three years ago this month, they produced their best performance of the Farhad Moshiri era against Manchester United, outclassing them by four goals.
The problems facing Solskjaer were exposed by the defeat. Their failure to qualify for the playoffs would be caused by a fifth successive away defeat.
If you have weeds in the garden, then you have to get rid of them, said Neville.
Japanese knotweed is attacking the foundations of the house at that football club. It needs to be dealt with properly.
So much has changed at United, but so much has remained the same, that they don't look closer to competing for the big prizes.
