Van de Beek admits Man Utd confidence rock bottom after consecutive defeats

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek admits their confidence is reaching rock bottom after defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir.

United were shocked by the Turkish outfit to end their 100 per cent Champions League record.

"I'm really disappointed," Van de Beek told BT Sport. “I think we started OK, the first 10 minutes, then we give a goal away. I don't know how.

“After that I think we lose the confidence. We can play much better. We are a team and everyone has a responsibility and we can play much better.

"Yes I had that feeling [that Martial's goal was a turning point]. There was also a lot space to play and create something.

“But I think today we create not many chances. We are Man United. We need to improve.

“The games before, like last game against Arsenal was the same. I think we don't play our best game. Now we have to step up [for] the game against Everton."
