Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley believes that the team need to show improvements, but has insisted that their never-say-die attitude remains.

The English champions came back from a one-goal deficit to beat Sunderland 2-1 at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, courtesy of an Adnan Januzaj double strike.

"There are things we can improve on with the goal we conceded," Cleverley told the club's official website. "We did start slowly.

"We could all look at that on the tapes and see where we can improve, but the character we showed to come back from that was fantastic and that's what we'll always have. That's what this club is all about."

United currently sit ninth in the Premier League table.
