There is no crisis at Old Trafford, according to Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville.

The champions are losing their grip on the premier league title after falling nine points behind leaders Arsenal, and have seen transfer target Arjen Robben choose to join Chelsea instead.

But Neville insists United can still turn their season into a successful one.

"We've got an FA Cup quarter-final at home on Saturday and we've got a European Cup game at Old Trafford on Tuesday where we have to win the match to get through to the quarter-finals," the defender said.

"There is still an awful lot to fight for this season, and I don't think it's time for people to be getting too down-hearted and to be giving up at this stage.

"It's nowhere near a crisis, but what we do have to do is to start playing to our capabilities.

"We're still there in the three competitions we want to be in. We're not where we want to be in the league at the moment, but everything is not doom and gloom."

United have won only two of their last seven league games, while Arsenal have maintained their remarkable unbeaten record to gain a firm grip on the title race.

Neville, who will miss United's next two domestic games through suspension, admits there is no more margin for error.

He added: "We have got to keep winning, but we are capable of winning every single match if you look at them on an individual basis.

"If you said can we win the next 11 matches it seems a massive shout, but if you look at each individual game and think 'can Manchester United win that game ?' Of course we can.

"It's a big ask, but it's always a big ask at this club. Arsenal haven't hit a sticky patch yet. If they don't, they deserve to win the league. If they do then we've got to be able to make sure we capitalise on it."
