Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has insisted that he and his teammates must "stick together" after they dropped points against Fulham on Sunday.

The North-West outfit succumbed to a late 2-2 draw at Old Trafford after Darren Bent scored a header in added time.

The Red Devils have now dropped 18 points this season and currently reside seventh in the Premier League table, 15 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

"The way to carry on is to stick together - the team and the fans," United's Twitter page quotes Mata as saying. "Learn from mistakes and be positive."

United will take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
