Furthermore, De Gea outrightly stated that there was no reason whatsoever United should have lost the game against a side that is struggling and nervous. He continued: “We knew before they were struggling, but how difficult it is to play here even when they are not in a good mood, but they play with more desire.
“They played on Wednesday, they were tired, they were a bit nervous, you could feel it, and even with that, we lost the game.
“Of course, it’s not the perfect atmosphere. But you could see they were tired, they were nervous, and come on, they keep going and keep fighting to win. They had more desire than us. That is not acceptable, and it’s very sad to lose today,” he added
