Ruben Amorim said that Manchester United are nowhere near being able to fight at the top of the Premier League table following their 1-0 defeat to 10-man Everton on Monday.

United had the chance to move into the Champions League places with a win over David Moyes' side at Old Trafford, but it was Everton who came away with all three points despite having Idrissa Gueye sent off after just 13 minutes for slapping teammate Michael Keane .

Amorim said afterwards that his team "deserved to lose" and admitted that, despite a positive recent run of performances, he's still "afraid" of a repeat of last season when a string of poor results saw United finish 15th.

"We are not there, not even near the point that we should be to fight for the best positions in the league," said Amorim.
