"I think everyone knows where it [the inspiration] has come from,
we accept criticism when it comes and rightly so," Smith told Sky Sports.
"A club like Manchester United shouldn't be getting beat,
and getting beat well off Middlesbrough, we are better than that
and I think that showed.
"It's not just Roy, he's a proud person. He told us exactly what he said.
All speculation about it in the papers was rubbish,
and I think from the manager to all the players we went out there today
and put in a good performance.
"Our commitment and our passion was there for everyone to see.
I think today was a vital part of our season.
"As a player you accept criticism as you accept praise
and I think you can only do your talking on the pitch,
whichever player, and Manchester United try to do that.
"It's always been there [the performance], the gaffer never doubted us,
we've never doubted ourselves as players.
"I think sometimes we need a reminder that we are at a big club,
you're not at your previous club and people can't let their standards drop."
