Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata believes that the club and its supporters deserve better than what has been produced on the field by the team this season.

United slipped to their 11th defeat of the season as they lost 2-0 to Everton at Goodison Park, and will now finish outside of the top three for the first time since the formation of the Premier League.

Mata told the club's official website: "Despite our efforts and the chances we had by the end of the game we didn't manage to come back, and what the league table shows now is something that neither the club nor the fans deserve.

"We will keep fighting until the end, that's the least we can do because I honestly think that we owe many good results to our supporters this season, mainly at Old Trafford."

Reports suggest that manager David Moyes will be sacked by the club in the near future due to their poor performances this season.
