Patrice Evra is adamant that it remains too early in the season to talk about a Manchester United title tilt.

The champions got off to a poor start under new manager David Moyes, but now sit eight points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal in sixth having won their last four games in a row in the division.

"The team is now playing better, we have that winning mentality and United spirit which was missing at the start of the season," Evra told The Mirror.

"I can see that our hunger has come back, so I'm confident, but I don't want to talk about the title. I just want to talk about the next game, Tottenham at home. We need to make sure that we win, and that we keep the momentum going."
