Darren Fletcher has told his Manchester United teammates it is time to end the succession of draws that has halted their progress this term.

Although much has been made of the 25-match unbeaten run that stretches back to last season's title-losing reverse against Chelsea, United have actually failed to win half their games in the Premier League this term. Their sixth draw of the campaign came in Wednesday's drab Manchester derby.

Fletcher accepts United need to make up for lost ground, and views today's trip to Aston Villa as the perfect place to start.

"People are talking about us not losing but we have drawn too many, especially away from home," said the Scotland skipper.

"We have to start winning our away games if we want to push up this league. "You can't afford to draw too many games, otherwise you will get left behind.

"Overall, you would be better winning two games out of three and losing the other one rather than winning one and drawing two.
