United urged to get on with it

MANCHESTER United midfielder Phil Jones admits the players’ confidence may have been shaken by their recent poor run - but insists they have to be professional and just deal with it.

David Moyes’ side has taken two points from its last four league games.

“Players’ confidence does go a little bit but we are professionals at the end of the day and we have to do the right job and deal with that. We are at Manchester United and there is pressure at every game.”

Prior to the Shakhtar game manager Moyes suggested all the responsibility for poor results should be down to him but Jones said the squad had not played its part.

“We go out and play so we have to look at ourselves and take full responsibility,” he added.

“The manager puts the team out but we have to go out and deliver for him and the last couple of games we've probably not done that. Tuesday was all about winning and we’ve done that now.”

United head to Aston Villa on Sunday and Jones accepts they have to win again to start generating some momentum.

“It is massive. We need to put things right in the league and that starts on Sunday. We need to get three points and go on a run.”
