David de Gea said Manchester United’s 4-0 thrashing by Brentford was horrible.
His 10th minute blunder had given the home town the lead, he was also at fault for the second goal.
“I cost three points to my team today, to be honest,” De Gea told Sky Sports. “It was a poor performance from myself. After the first mistake and the second, it was very tough for the team to get playing. It was a horrible day.
“We should react better. I should save the first shot and probably the result would be different. It just depends on how the game is going, sometimes I maybe have to read the game better and go long [for the second goal]. I tried to play when I shouldn’t have to Christian. We are not like other teams conceding first and winning 5-1 or 6-1. This is why I cost the team three points.”
