Michael Carrick has insisted that he and his Manchester United teammates care about the club's current plight.
The Red Devils sit in seventh place in the Premier League table, 15 points behind leaders Chelsea.
When asked if the squad is committed to the cause under new manager David Moyes, Carrick told the club's official website: "Of course, the players care. It is the pride we have in ourselves and each other.
"No one wants to go through a spell when people are questioning you and things are going wrong, but we have had enough success over the years that we retain a belief in ourselves, even when things are not going so well."
United continue the defence of their Premier League title on Wednesday with a trip to Arsenal.
