Following their 2-2 draw with Fulham, Manchester United manager David Moyes says the team deserved to win, despite giving away a "diabolical" second goal.
Manchester United now stand nine points behind fourth-placed Liverpool following their latest disappointing result -- a home draw against Fulham.
The team have dropped 18 points at home this season, and with away defeats to Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Stoke, bookmakers have the Red Devils down as 6-1 outsiders to make the top four.
Speaking after the match David Moyes said, "we deserved to win the game, we deserved to get back in the game.
"It was nearly a case of just play out the time and actually we gave away a diabolical second goal ... but we should've gone to win 3-1."
United flung a record 81 crosses into the Fulham box, but with 6ft 7in centre-back Dan Burn in the away side, visiting head coach Rene Meulensteen said his team were well prepared for everything the hosts threw at them.
