Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw admits defeat at Newcastle United was "not good enough".
Shaw concedes the players showed little hunger for the fight on the day.
He said, "Not good enough. I feel like every time I speak after games I'm always honest. As a team we have to be honest. I don't think Newcastle won on quality today, they won on desire, passion, hunger, attitude. They had a higher motivation than we did. That can't be possible. I feel I say the same every time we lose. They wanted it more. At Man Utd that shouldn't be possible.
"It's unacceptable. It's not what we want to set out to be. In big games you need that hunger. We didn't create too much. Maybe you can say it's been coming. Our levels dropped before the international break. We have three days to pick it back up.
"The players had a chat in the changing room after with no staff round. It's down to us. It was nowhere near good enough. We had to speak out in front of each other.
It's important. We're a team. When we go out onto the pitch, we have to fight for each other. Sometimes it hasn't looked like that."
