Stoke City's Geoff Cameron has insisted that the club are capable of playing better this season.
The Potters are 13th in the Premier League table with 18 points from 16 matches.
"I felt we were the better team for large parts against United and created more openings," Cameron told The Mirror, referencing the club's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in the League Cup.
"But the game comes down to who puts the ball in the back of the net. We know we can do better. We have been playing well, so we must keep our heads up."
Stoke face Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.
