Matheus Cunha has said everyone at Manchester United must "look inside" after the club dropped into the Premier League relegation zone.
The Brazilian was speaking after Sunday's 4-4 draw with Aston Villa at Old Trafford. Patrick Dorgu struck in the sixth minute of stoppage time to rescue a point, but it was not enough to keep Michael Carrick's side out of the bottom three heading into the international break.
United sit 18th, above Sunderland on goal difference and a point clear of bottom side Crystal Palace. Nottingham Forest and Coventry City, in 16th and 17th, are a point better off.
Defensive issues continue to plague Carrick's side. After conceding four times at Old Trafford on Sunday, no team in Europe's top five leagues has conceded more than United's 30 goals this season across all competitions, as Villa struck twice in quick succession at the start of each half.
"So tired and so disappointed," Cunha told Sky Sports at full-time.
"We need to look inside. The players, the staff, everyone. It's a huge club and to feel something like this is not normal. I'm sure the situation will change, I feel we are good enough to do that."
Carrick has already made clear he expects to stay in charge. After the Villa game he told Sky his side "were the better team for large parts of the game" but had made life hard for themselves, adding: "Always two goals in succession, like the other night, and again today."
Asked whether United were in a relegation battle, he replied: "We are in November. I don't like this situation, I don't like the results, but we can definitely do something about it."
United's next game is a trip to Liverpool on November 22.
