The remarks follow Manchester United's disastrous afternoon in Merseyside, where they were defeated by relegation-threatened Everton at Goodison Park.After the game, De Gea admitted that despite having more rest than their opponents, United were far behind. "They [Everton] played on Wednesday and were exhausted, but they had more desire than us, which is unacceptable. It's a shame to lose today "The Spaniard asserted.
"It's a disgrace from us; we should be winning this game," the enraged goalkeeper continued. The defensive efforts of the entire Everton team kept the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford, and Bruno Fernandes at bay for the most part. It's a dismal result that does a lot of damage to United's chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season.Everton showed "more desire" than Manchester United in their 1-0 win at Goodison Park, according to the manager.
United put in yet another poor performance away on Merseyside, falling to a dreadful defeat thanks to Anthony Gordon's first-half strike. The effort deflected off captain Harry Maguire to catch De Gea off guard, and Ralf Rangnick's side had no answer.
Jordan Pickford was called upon several times and was up to the task of dealing with everything the visitors threw at England's first-choice shot-stopper. Having said that, it didn't feel like United were ever under sustained pressure throughout the game.Everton showed "more desire" than Manchester United in their 1-0 win at Goodison Park, according to the manager.

It's a dismal result that does a lot of damage to United's chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season. Red Devils are now seventh in the Premier League, trailing Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and West Ham United. While only three points separate Ralf Rangnick's men from fourth place, United have now played one game more than Spurs and West Ham, and two more than Arsenal.
Everton's lone goal came from Anthony Gordon. United have looked far from their best for some time, with this defeat coming just seven days after a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester City, in which they were fortunate to take a single point.
Rangnick cut a frustrated figure for much of the game, lamenting United's lack of creativity. "We were trying to add more creativity with our substitutions in the second half, but we couldn't choose the right moment or make the right decision and couldn't score a single goal in 95 minutes," the German explained. Despite speculations about who will succeed him, the interim manager insisted that United have no excuses. "This should not be used as an excuse; we are Manchester United, and we have a large number of international players."
"This should not be used as an excuse or an alibi; there will be a new manager next season, and whether it is announced now or in 10, 20 days, it should have no bearing on a game like today."
