PREMIER - Like Shaw on United: we're way too easy to play against

As manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fights for his job following Sunday's 5-0 thumping at home to Liverpool, Luke Shaw believes Manchester United's players must accept responsibility for a string of embarrassing losses.

The Red Devils have only maintained one clean sheet in their last 21 games, and Shaw confessed that Liverpool's historic victory at Old Trafford on Sunday was no surprise considering their recent form.

"We can say this result was coming," said Shaw after United's fifth defeat in nine games.

"I think in past games where we've won, we haven't been at our best and we know that.

"We felt that inside the dressing room and today we need to reflect and we have to move on from this because it hurts."

"I think it's ourselves that we need to look at, first and foremost, in the mirror," he added.

"Are we doing everything right and preparing right for the games in ourselves?

"Of course we have the tactics and how the manager wants us to play, but I think at times we're way too easy to play against."
