Erik ten Hag has urged his Man United players to show more hunger following Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.
“We didn’t allow them one shot and we had some opportunities and then the same story again, we conceded a goal on a decisive moment, totally the wrong decision,” said the Dutchman.
“We started and we were not in formation - an easy giveaway and it sums up our season. Such easy giveaways, you get punished in top football.
“We have too [many] good players to act like this. It has to be a turning point but also a restart because we have to get into higher levels.
"The spirit is good, the belief is good and the team is together. We have shown that, we have shown strong character. It can be a turning point but it is up to us.
“Those games give fuel to a dressing room. They know how far they have to go to get results. It can’t be easy going and in football.
"It’s eat or get eaten - too many times in the first half of the season we have got eaten by opponents who are more hungry, and it can’t be. It has to go away.
“Every player, every second he is on the pitch, has to deliver that. That is the demand and the standard.
"When you do that, you saw last season that you get a determined team. We were not always determined on every occasion in games and you get hammered for it. This has to change.”
United were heading for another disappointing defeat at home against Brentford before a late Scott McTominay brace.
The Red Devils had lost five of the last seven before Saturday’s match.
