Bruno Fernandes conceded that Manchester United's display in their 2-0 defeat to West Ham United was "not enough" as their Premier League woes continued.
Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen struck either side of half-time to earn the Hammers their first league win at Old Trafford since 2006-07.
West Ham also completed only their fifth ever top-flight double over the Red Devils, having previously done so in 1926-27, 1928-29, 1976-77, and 2006-07.
It was another frustrating game for United, who amassed an expected goals (xG) total of 2.28 from their 20 shots, but were unable to beat Alphonse Areola.
The result leaves United down in 16th, with this their ninth home Premier League defeat of the season, their joint-most ever home losses in a single league campaign.
They are winless in seven top-flight games (D2 L5), their joint-longest ever run in the competition, also going seven without victory from September to November 1992.
And Fernandes, who missed two chances himself in the contest, said his team lacked a cutting edge in the final third on Sunday.
"We created a lot of chances, but this is not enough. We have to put our chances into goals," the Manchester United captain said.
"Today was a frustrating day because we couldn't do that.
"We need to be stronger and more eager to score goals and put balls into the box. If you create the chances, you have to try and bury them in."
Fernandes acknowledged his side's struggles in front of goal this season, with United having managed just 42 goals in the Premier League.
Only Everton (39), Ipswich Town (35), Leicester City (31) and Southampton (25) have scored fewer than United's total (West Ham are level on 42).
"It's difficult to explain. Everyone wants to score goals. It's not been our season to get the goals in," Fernandes added.
"We have to improve on that. We have to be much better. And we have to be more aggressive."
Fernandes also discussed United's upcoming Europa League final, where they will face Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao on May 21.
The 30-year-old insisted that while their Premier League season is one to forget, his team-mates can not place sole focus on their showpiece match against Spurs.
"We had two games, we have one more game. We can't only focus on the Europa League final. We have to put maximum effort into every game," he said.
"Any points in the Premier League at this moment for us will be massive."

Missing chances has become a hobby for Man utd players especially this season, if you calculate the missed chances United wouldn't be in this position, Garnacho, Hojlund are the main culprits, leaking goals we have the whole defence to blame, United has one of the slowest back line in the EPL, the system has also contributed i think Amorim implemented his back three system too early bcoz for that system to work he needs quicker defenders better midfielders and sharp strikers not those dummies we have.If he wants to win the Europa cup am afraid he has to change the system.

That’s why I like to remind MU players that if they are playing a game pls tell themselves that they are playing against Liverpool and just imagine and you can do better.

Since when do you have cutting edge, don’t talk about what you don’t know
Don’t forget Bruno punish you with that finishing cutting edge during last year FA cup. It took your club more years to match united epl title and this happen because of bad management at the top. So mute yourself on united issues.

Shocking to see Man United has not won 2 EPL consecutive matches this season 😳
United finishing is too bad. United need clinical finisher because united has been leading possession and attack but can’t bury the game rather they lose at the end.

Resurrection of Manu is still a big dought if Amorim doesn't win Europa League trophy 🏆, see a coach like Ole or Vannestroy better remedies compared to the calcified coaches but not certified. Bring back Ole or Carrick if not otherwise.
