Darren Fletcher knows Manchester United need to start turning one point into three points if they are to reclaim the Premier League title this season. United are on a 25-match unbeaten run that stretches back to last season's title-losing reverse against Chelsea, but the Red Devils have actually failed to win half their games in the Premier League this term.
Fletcher accepts United need to make up for lost ground, and views the trip to Aston Villa as the perfect place to start.
"People are talking about us not losing but we have drawn too many, especially away from home," said the Scotland skipper.
"We have to start winning our away games if we want to push up this league.
"You can't afford to draw too many games, otherwise you will get left behind.
"Overall, you would be better winning two games out of three and losing the other one rather than winning one and drawing two.
"That is why we were disappointed on Wednesday.
"We could have got the win and felt we produced a performance good enough to get us one."
