""The way we started the game, the way we didn't understand how we should play against 10 men. They deserved to win. Even suffering with 10 men, that is normal. "We had a lot of chances, but the quality and the decision-making was not there. The understanding of every situation of the game was not there. And then the quality near the box.""
""But the most important is the intensity. You can feel it right away when we start the game. In the first minute, you can feel when we are at the top level of intensity and when we are not. Then, when we are not, we cannot win in this way.""
""Of course [he is surprised]. But I said in many occasions that I understand that we have a lot to do. But I am really frustrated with the way we played the game, especially at home, and understanding what happened this weekend with the other clubs, looking at the table and feeling everything.""
Manchester United lost 1-0 at Old Trafford to 10-man Everton. Idrissa Gueye was sent off after 13 minutes following a fight with Michael Keane that included striking a team-mate in the face. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored in the 29th minute after skipping past two tame challenges and bending his strike past Senne Lammens. United had 25 attempts (23 after the sending-off), six on target and 1.7 expected goals. This was the first Old Trafford defeat when the opposition had a red card, after previously winning 36 and drawing 10 such matches. The home crowd booed amid frustration over intensity, decision-making and quality near the box.
