Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck has insisted that the squad is staying positive following an indifferent first half of the season.
The Red Devils are currently in seventh place in the Premier League table, 10 points adrift of leaders Manchester City.
Despite a feeling of disappointment around Old Trafford, Welbeck has revealed that the players are refusing to dwell on any negatives.
"We're not in the position we should be in as Manchester United, in terms of the way we play and as a whole club," he told United's official website. "We really want to get further up that table. We've got to put it right.
"You can't dwell on the negatives too much because that's just a bigger distraction to putting things right and doing want we want to achieve. We've got to look forward."
United continue the defence of their Premier League title on Sunday when they travel to Chelsea.
