Paul Scholes says Manchester United cannot get hung up on their lack of cleansheets after yesterday's 2-1 win at Sunderland.

"It's always disappointing when you don't keep a clean sheet, but it's not going to happen all the time," Scholes told MUTV. "These are difficult places to come to, against teams who like to attack you and sometimes you might concede a goal.

"But as long as we score more than them at the other end, that's all that matters."

Ben Foster was handed his first Premier League start of the season and, although disappointed to concede, the goalkeeper shared Scholes' view.

"I was a little disappointed with their goal, as I was probably a little too close to the near post when [Teemu Tainio] crossed," he said. "I managed to get a tiny touch on it but big Kenwyne was behind me and he managed to fumble it in.

"There are things that we'll look at with regards to the goals we have been conceding, but as long as we're getting the three points, that's the main thing."
