Manchester United defender Phil Jones has claimed that the negative feeling at the club has not yet reached the levels it did under David Moyes, despite a spell of six games without a win.

The Red Devils have lost three games on the bounce in all competitions, a run that has included a group-stage Champions League exit and back-to-back Premier League defeats to newly-promoted sides.

Fans voiced their displeasure following Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Norwich City, while manager Louis van Gaal has reportedly been given just two more games to save his job, but Jones insists that things have been worse during his time at the club.

"I wouldn't say it's the lowest moment. I think it became pretty glum, if you like, under David Moyes and it was unfortunate. We weren't playing well at the time," he is quoted as saying by PA.

"There's no point saying we've played some good football this season because ultimately we've lost three games in a row - but we have in patches. We need to stick together, there's nothing else you can do."

Jones also gave his backing to Van Gaal, claiming that the Dutchman was doing a "terrific job" in charge of the team.
