"It is vital for us to get going," van Nistelrooy told the Manchester Evening News. "The result at Newcastle was a great one for us but we have to build on it, not waste it again like we did after Arsenal. We got one point from two games immediately after the Arsenal game, which was a big let-down."
"There is no point thinking or talking about Arsenal or Chelsea just now, our focus is on what we do. We have not had a proper run of victories to build up a head of steam. Now we have to put one together. We must not let this boost be ruined again."
