Harry Maguire is frustrated that defensive lapses are costing Manchester United crucial points after they let slip a winning position for the second consecutive match against Aston Villa.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were leading 2-1 midway through the second half at Old Trafford on Sunday before a Tyrone Mings equaliser forced them to share the points.
The 2-2 draw left United in ninth place in the Premier League with 18 points from 14 matches, their worst return at a similar stage since 1988/89.
United also conceded a late goal in the previous week in a 3-3 draw against Sheffield United after storming back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2.
"We got ourselves in a great position in the second half (against Villa) and again conceded a sloppy goal really," Maguire told MUTV.
"As a defender especially, it's frustrating," he added. "We haven't really conceded many chances or goals prior to the last two games and then we've conceded five."
