Manchester United defender Luke Shaw admitted he was "embarrassed" by the club's performance in Sunday's lopsided loss to Tottenham.
The Red Devils were thumped 6-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday, equalling the club's worst-ever Premier League defeat.
Following the match, Shaw said that the team was left both saddened and embarrassed by their own performance while also admitting that the club is nowhere near where it needs to be.
He told Sky Sports: "It was a lack of concentration and then a mistake, another mistake, another mistake. We switched off. It really hurts.
"Manchester United shouldn't lose in this manner. It really hurts, it's embarrassing and we've let a lot of people down. We've let ourselves down and the staff down.
"Whoever's on the pitch, whatever the scoreline is, the players on the pitch are the ones who have to take the responsibility.
"We get given tactics, responsibilities that players need to do but when you're on the pitch the manager can give advice, but we're on the pitch.
"We need to look in the mirror, we are nowhere near it at the moment. Maybe it's lucky that we've got a break now.
"When we went down to 10 men maybe we gave up, there wasn't that character on the pitch. We were too quiet and naive. There was many mistakes, we need to do more.
