McTominay admits Man Utd confidence rock bottom after defeat at Arsenal

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay admits confidence is rock bottom after defeat at Arsenal.

An emotional McTominay spoke to BT Sport and he gave a brutally honest assessment on United's struggles this term.

"Goals change games of football, We didn't put the ball in the back of the net and they did," McTominay said.

"We dominated the first 20/25 minutes of the second half and they go down the other side of the pitch and score. That's how it's going at the minute. There are a whole lot of problems in terms of players, staff, everything higher up.

"We need to concentrate on what's happening on the pitch. It's self-pride when we're on the pitch. We don't need to worry about who's saying what. It's pride when you go on the pitch, give your best, everyone.

"There's a lot of things going on at the minute, don't get me wrong. For us, when we get back into the dressing room, it's about going home and taking a look at ourselves in the mirror. You can't go home and be satisfied at conceding three goals away at Arsenal whenever we deserved to win the game, that's not the way that football works.

"For us, self-belief, lack of confidence, you can see it all in the last two months. We had a half-decent game today, but even then, it's the belief, which is so big in football, it's just not here at the minute."
