Patrick Dorgu: Man Utd must 'fight together' to get out of 'bad situation'

The United defender struck deep into stoppage time as Michael Carrick's side avoided a third consecutive Premier League defeat in a chaotic encounter. Joshua Zirkzee had also found the net late on, with the visitors recovering from behind for a second time to claim a point.

"I don't feel happy, we are in a bad situation. We need to fight together to get out of it," Dorgu told Sky Sports after the match.

"A draw is better than a loss but I think we had the better opportunities and we should have won this game."

He added: "Everyone needs to look at himself and ask if he's doing enough. We need to fight for the coach [Carrick] and fight for the club and we need to get out of this together."

However, Dorgu's reaction suggested the late comeback offered little consolation, with Matheus Cunha also appearing frustrated despite United's dramatic escape.

"So tired. I feel so disappointed because, after the other night, we talked a lot about changing our mentality. But we did it again, we conceded some goals. We need to play like Manchester United and go forward and have a bit more courage," said Cunha.

"And we show character after we concede goals but if you do that before [show character and score goals first] then we can win more games."

The draw did little to improve United's league standing, either, as they remain 18th with just eight points from their opening 10 matches. Carrick's side are currently above Sunderland and Crystal Palace in the relegation zone.
