had ‘had enough’ during ’s dismal Premier League defeat to relegation-battlers , according to Owen Hargreaves.

Anthony Gordon’s first-half goal helped ’s Everton clinch a crucial victory over a lacklustre United at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Everton were just one point above the drop zone going into the fixture following a , but now have some breathing space.

For Manchester United, it is a ninth league defeat of the season and sees them fail to close the gap on top-four rivals Tottenham and Arsenal, who have games in hand.

Hargreaves blasted United’s performance at Everton and said Ronaldo looked fed up with his teammates as they slipped to another demoralising defeat.

Asked what went wrong for Manchester United at Goodison Park, Hargreaves told Premier League productions: ‘What went right? A lot went wrong. What did they do right?

‘The effort isn’t there, their passing was poor, they didn’t have barely any shots on target. I don’t think they did much.

‘There’s a top-four place at stake here. Look, Anthony Gordon played like it meant everything to him. Everton could go down, but United could be in the Champions League where they all want to be.

‘Their names suggest that’s where they should be. But it didn’t feel like they thought it was must-win. You want them to put in a performance but we didn’t see it.

‘There was no real quality. Look at Cristiano Ronaldo during that game, he had had enough. He got no service. He got nothing to him.

‘There’s so many good players out there but really you’d expect way, way more from Manchester United.’

United now have just seven games left to make up ground in the Premier League and qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Asked to rate Manchester United’s top-four chances following the defeat to Everton, Rangnick said: ‘It’s difficult – if we don’t win our own games it doesn’t make sense to hope for good results from the other teams.’

Rangnick also said United’s players should not use the ongoing search for a permanent manager as an excuse for their underwhelming performances.

Manchester United are , with the Dutchman emerging as the club’s No. 1 target ahead of Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino.

He told BT Sport: ‘I don’t think this should be an excuse. We are Manchester United. We have lots of international players. There shouldn’t be an alibi.

‘There will be a new manager next season. If this is announced now or in 10 days it shouldn’t have an impact.’
