Man Utd skipper Neville: Burnley slip down to fitness

Manchester United captain Gary Neville says they're finding their groove now with the players match-fit.

"We've got a good level of belief and strength, and the main thing is that we all stay fit and keep the squad together," Neville told United Review ahead of today's match against Sunderland.

"We weren't probably in the right place fitness-wise against Burnley. That game came a bit too quick for us and, for me, that was the reason we lost."

Since the international break in September, the Reds have been flying, winning six games in three competitions.

"Since that break, we're looking healthier in terms of players having more training and games," Neville adds. "You could see our attacking flair against City and Tottenham, our resilience against Arsenal and Besiktas... the performances since we came back from the break have been really good."
