David de Gea has called on his teammates to "keep believing" after Manchester United bounced back from last weekend's Manchester derby defeat to beat Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Alex Iwobi had put the Toffees ahead before goals from Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo - his 700th club career goal - turned the game on its head by half-time. United are now fifth in the table, just one point away from the top four.
But Iwobi's opener means Erik ten Hag's men have conceded first in the last three games and De Gea has not kept a clean sheet in four matches. Some fans are calling for United to offload the goalkeeper when his contract expires in the summer, despite his three clean sheets this season.

The Spaniard hasn't been picked for his national side since November, with his last appearance coming in October 2020. He isn't expected to travel to Qatar for next month's World Cup.
De Gea was slammed by some for his start to the season in United's losses to Brighton and Brentford, making a blunder in the 4-0 loss to the latter. However, speaking after Sunday's win over Everton, he called on his teammates to keep the faith.
When asked about dealing with negativity fired at the team, he told BT Sport: "I think it’s part of football.
"Sometimes when you win it’s easy to say ‘this team is very good and the players are playing very well’ but sometimes in some bad periods we have to be focused, keep training hard believe in yourself and the team.
"So that’s what we are doing. Believe in my teammates, staff altogether and keep believing ."
