Manchester United fullback Diogo Dalot concedes Newcastle showed greater desire in Sunday's defeat.

Newcastle won 2-0 via goals from Joe Willock and Callum Wilson.

Disappointment is the [right] word," stated Dalot, speaking to MUTV post-match. We wanted to come here and do what we planned. I think we tried - we tried to find spaces.

We knew that they wanted to press high. Even after that we tried to play, we tried to find spaces. I think we could have been a little bit more patient, especially in the last third. In the final third we could have been a little bit more patient with the ball and find better spaces, and try to create more chances.

I think that was it overall and we have to show desire. We have to beat them in desire, we have to beat them in every challenge that we have, every duel. And I think they wanted it a little bit more than us today and that cannot happen."
