Matic: Man Utd doesn’t accept draws and losses

Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic thinks the club must try to get back into the habit of winning every match.

The Red Devils have won back-to-back matches against Cardiff and Huddersfield in the Premier League following a run of only two wins in eight matches in all competitions.

United are finally starting to become upwardly mobile under new caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Matic – who scored the Red Devils’ first goal in their 3-1 win over Huddersfield – thinks it’s paramount they keep that winning feeling going.

“After Cardiff, we gained more confidence,” Matic told BBC Sport. “It was important to win at our stadium, to bring a smile on the face of our supporters.

“We made some mistakes. We need to see what we can do better. It’s a completely different atmosphere when you win games.

“This club doesn’t accept drawing or losing a game. This is the way we have to try to win the next one.”

On his goal, Matic added: “It’s always important to score early if possible. After that, we have more space to play.

“I’m happy with my goal.”
