Dont rule United out of the title race - Morgan Schneiderlin



Saturday's 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace meant they have now played in excess of five hours of football, including against Championship opposition in Middlesbrough, and failed to score.

Their stuttering form has taken them four points behind joint league leaders Manchester City and Arsenal and prompted suggestions that the title will soon be out of reach but the French midfielder is adamant that as long as they swiftly return to winning games that will not be the case.

"(Goals) will come if we keep believing," Schneiderlin told United's official website

"We will keep clean sheets, that's not a problem, and we will win games but we need to make sure it comes quickly

"We have the players to score goals and we will score goals

It's not a worry for me

We've had the chances and sometimes it's just a matter of taking the time to make a good choice

"It was one of those days (against Crystal Palace on Saturday) when we needed to be strong

We are disappointed not to win

We came to win the game so we need to make sure we win the next game.

"Overall, when we look at the last three games, we played very good against Everton, played good against (Manchester) City and should have won as we were the only team pushing to win and (against Palace) we've drawn so we could have had nine points.

"After the Arsenal game (a 3-0 defeat), we've shown good character and spirit

We want to win the title so, to win games, we need to score goals

We'll have to work hard and hope we bounce back.

"Of course we are (in the title race)

It's still early as we head into November so there are a lot of games to be played but we are there

It doesn't matter if you are second, third, fourth or fifth in November

What matters is to be first at the end of May and win the games.

"Every team is going to go through a period where they don't score goals and are going to be unlucky

It will happen to the teams in front of us for sure

It's up to us to win games and overtake those teams."
