Manchester United manager David Moyes has insisted that his side are getting 'into their stride' after a disappointing run of results.

The Premier League champions are currently in eighth position in the league table, but after three victories in a row in all competitions, Moyes has been encouraged ahead of the festive period.

The 50-year-old told reporters: "We've had three wins and three clean sheets from the past three games so I'm really pleased. We are getting into our stride and that's exactly what I want. Putting runs together is normal at Manchester United.

"We need to get back to winning ways at home and start putting those goals away. I have never found Old Trafford nervy, it's a brilliant place to be. It is the opposite of nervy in fact, the crowd is right behind the team."

United play West Ham United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
