Manchester United new boy Morgan Schneiderlin says there is plenty more to come from the team, despite their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season.

And the former Southampton man says he is also expecting his own performance levels to rise as his fitness improves.

The France international joined United from Southampton over the summer and his first two Premier League appearances have resulted in 1-0 victories over Tottenham and Aston Villa.

Schneiderlin told the United website: "Two wins out of two is very good so far and a very good start to the Premier League.

"We are happy after the results but still not 100 per cent happy with the performances, because we know we can still improve.

"In the Premier League, it's all about winning games to win titles, so sometimes you need to be able to get the victories when you don't have the best performance, and that's what we've done so far.

"We look strong and, personally, I feel like I am getting closer to being 100 per cent physically. I am not quite there yet but it will come.

"I have been pleased to be able to make some good interceptions, but I don't want to lose any balls when I have possession, and that's what I will continue to improve upon."

Schneiderlin is delighted with how his move has worked out and added: "To play for such a team like Manchester United is a beautiful thing.

"Old Trafford is a beautiful stadium and it's amazing to be able to play there week in, week out.

"It’s been interesting to see how every time we play, it’s a huge game for the opposition. I have seen the difference in that since I joined.

"You see the atmosphere in all our games and you see that we are the team that everyone wants to beat, but I enjoy that and feel ready for it. I’m focused on helping the team do the best we can in every match."
