De Gea: 'We are paid to play for Man United and must do better than that'

"There's not much to say, it was embarrassing to see Man United play like we did today," said David De Gea in his post-match interview.

"It's not acceptable - the way we were playing and doing things. It's easy to blame the manager or the staff but sometimes it's the players.

"Embarrassing first half - we could've conceded four goals in 45 minutes. It was hard to watch the team playing today - it was nightmare after nightmare. It's not acceptable.

"We are trying to give our best and fight for the team but for sure something is very wrong. You can see in the games - it's very low level, very poor. Sorry to the fans, once again."

The Spaniard, who made plenty of saves during the game, added: "I've been in difficult moments and always believe in myself but there are difficult moments we have to be strong in mind and body. We are paid to play for United and to do better than that.

"This is not United or the way we ought to play - it's difficult to say more than that.

"It's been very bad for a long time - a club like United we have to be fighting for trophies and fighting for big things and to be honest we are far from that. Let's see - we have to keep working hard and stick together."

De Gea was one of the only saving graces as we lost 4-1 to Watford at Vicarage Road.

The Red Devils are now 12 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.
