Schneiderlin insists Man Utd are still in the title race and will start scoring soon

Morgan Schneiderlin believes goals will come for Man United

MORGAN SCHNEIDERLIN insists Manchester United remain genuine title contenders and is not worried about their current goal drought.

 

His comments come following United's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace which means they now sit four points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City and Arsenal, and have now failed to score in their last three matches.  

This lack of goals and creativity which has seen United slide down the table has also seen United talisman Wayne Rooney come under criticism, but the French midfielder, who signed for the Red Devils for £24million from Southampton this summer, reckons goals will come soon enough. 

"[Goals] will come if we keep believing," Schneiderlin told the club'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."

And the 25-year-old thinks that it is silly to write United off as title contenders given how many games there are left in the season. 

 

"Of course we are (in the title race)," he added.

"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."
