Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay admits they went "back to basics" for Thursday night's 3-1 win against Burnley.
McTominay struck for the win.
He later said, "We need to do more and hopefully in 2022 we can do that.
"It is about adapting to new methods. We have to go back to the basics of football. We have to tackle, we have to run, we have to create.
"If we are not running and competing in the first 15 minutes it is going to be difficult, no matter what the quality of our forward players.
"An old cliche in football. We are going through a transitional period, we can't look too far ahead in terms of ambitions and goals.
"We want to enjoy football, there is too much negativity, and if you enjoy it you will end up playing well."
