Evra: Man Utd need string of wins to get back into contention

Manchester United full back Patrice Evra believes the Premier League champions need to win 10 games in a row to get back into contention for regaining their title. "The problem is not that we are doing badly, it is because we are not doing things well enough," said Evra. "We've lost our consistency and we need to find it really quickly if want to win every trophy.

"We can't win one game and draw the next one, or lose it. Now, every game is important.

"We [do] want to win two or three games in a row but it is when we win 10 games in a row that I will say Manchester United are back in business. "At the moment, we're not."

The experienced defender added: "The training sessions are very good. The staff are very good.

"I'm not lying to people when I say we are doing the right things. I trust what we are doing and what the new manager has set up. It's just the results that are missing.

"We have to make sure we win games, even if we do it in a bad way or an ugly way.

"We need to win those 10 games. We don't have any choice. After that, we can play the beautiful football."
