Darren Fletcher has claimed Manchester United need to progress and find a more consistent form worthy of matching the success of recent years.

Fletcher is firmly establishing himself as a Red Devils in the new midfield system but insists the team need to pick their socks up and start to win more games.

The Scotland international said: "We've got to progress. Manchester United can't stand still.

"Players have come and gone, we've got to try and make our own legacy and win the championship and win trophies like the players in past did, and try to make Old Trafford a fortress again. We're looking to be in contention [for the Premiership] come May and involved in a lot of trophies."

Fletcher also said he's found heart from Everton's draw over Chelsea on the weekend that ended Jose Mourinho's side 100% winning start. "We've got to take heart that Chelsea have dropped some points as we've got to play them in couple of weeks.

"We can't expect other teams to beat Chelsea if we can't do it ourselves so we've got to beat Chelsea.

"It is the first time Chelsea have dropped any points this season and just proves there is a long way to go."
