Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea believes his side must improve in all areas to avoid further pain in the Premier League.
United suffered a humiliating 1-0 defeat away to Newcastle United on Sunday. A Matty Longstaff long range strike was enough to give the Magpies all three points.
The result left United only two points above the relegation zone after eight league games. De Gea was furious with his side as he spoke with reporters after the game.
"We didn't create any proper chances," De Gea fumed on Sky Sports. "We defended well. The team needs to step up.
"We have some big injuries but that's no excuse. We are Manchester United, we need to keep training hard, fighting and winning games."
When asked where United can improve, De Gea said: "Everything. A lot of things to improve. I don't know what to say.
"Keep trying, fighting, improving every day. It's a hard moment for us.
"[This is] the most difficult time since I've been here. I don't know why, what is happening. Sorry to the fans. We will keep fighting.
"Come on, we conceded a goal from a corner. That cannot happen. It's unacceptable."
