De Gea slams Man Utd for Everton defeat: Unacceptable! They had more desire

David de Gea slammed his Manchester United teammates after their defeat at Everton on Saturday.

Anthony Gordon struck the only goal of the game in the opening minutes.

De Gea later said: "We knew before today they were struggling and how difficult it was going to be.

"We don't score, we don't even create proper chances to score. I don't know what to say, to be honest. We're not good enough, that's for sure. It's going to be very difficult now to be in the top four.

"Of course it's not the perfect atmosphere. They were tired, they were nervous, but they keep going and keep fighting. They had more desire than us, which is not acceptable. It's very sad to lose today."
