Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim criticised his team’s lack of effort after they lost 1-0 to Everton in the Premier League on Monday night.

A win at Old Trafford would have allowed the Red Devils to move up to fourth or fifth position.

Despite having Idrissa Gana Gueye sent off in the first half, United lost the game’s only goal to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Amorim, speaking to BBC Sport after the match, said: “They were the better team with 11 players and 10. I felt we were not there with the same intensity. They deserved the win.

“The other team helped us with the sending off. We need to do [more] in every moment. If they have 10 let’s push them to the final third.

“We need to do more.”

United’s next game will be a trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
