Patrice Evra has played down Manchester United's faltering start to the new season.

The European and Premier League champions have won just one game in six so far this season.

But Evra insists United started just as badly last year and that they can easily recover.

"Last year it was also a difficult start," he told Sky Sports News.

"We didn't win a lot of games at the start of the season but we are getting better and there is a big pressure."

United travel to rivals Chelsea on Sunday and Evra insists the game is not a title decider - although he knows the importance of claiming three points in West London.

"This is why I say if we win at Chelsea you don't win the league, and also if you lose you don't lose the league as well," he said.

"But for the confidence it is important to win against Chelsea because then they will say Manchester United is back."
