Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has claimed that his teammates are trying to be more ruthless in front of goal this season.

The Reds missed out on the Premier League title to neighbours Manchester City on goal difference but have already found the net 12 times during the current campaign.

"We know when we are winning two or three-nil we need to go and win five or six-nil," Cleverley told The Sun.

"It does not need the manager to tell us we let sides back into games last season."

Cleverley scored his first goal for the Red Devils in Wednesday's Capital One Cup victory over Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
