David de Gea hits out at Man Utd team-mates after they give up ANOTHER lead to draw 1-1 with Southampton
DAVID DE GEA has hit out at his Manchester United team-mates after they dropped points yet again.
Ralf Rangnick’s side were leading against Southampton but Che Adams equalised to rescue a point in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
The Spaniard took to social media and wrote: “The situation needs to improve and fast.
“We have to learn that this is not enough.”
His strong statement came after club legend Paul Scholes had blasted the team for their performance.
The former midfielder told BT Sport: “These Manchester United players do not want to do the ugly side of the game.
“There are a lot of very good players in that team – you could name every one of them.

“But with talent you have to work hard as well.
“I feel sorry for the manager because he is clearly trying his best to set his team up to play against this type of team [Southampton] and they are either not listening, can’t do it, or don’t want to do it.”
But boss Rangnick defended his team’s attitude.
He said: “I don’t think anyone should believe the players don’t care.
“The question is how can we get more compact and aggressive and nasty when it is about defending a lead.
“It is the major issue, but not about the players not wanting to do that.”
