Manchester United center-back Nemanja Vidic has admitted that the Red Devils have, for the most part, been performing below what they are capable of but maintains belief that his side will get stronger with performances traditionally improving towards the latter end of the season.
United currently lead the way in the race for the Premier League title with two games in hand on second place Manchester City and Vidic admits that the Old Trafford camp is confident.
"We definitely have a positive feeling," he told Inside United.
"We know that up until the win over Blackburn we hadn't performed as well as we can.
"But from my experience, this sort of time is when we usually come into good form.
"We all want to win the trophy. Last season was very disappointing.
"We just need to keep pushing hard and playing well. If we do that, we have a good chance of regaining it."
The likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea are all within nine points of United at the top of the pile and Vidic is adamant that England's top flight has become more competitive this season.
"The quality has improved," he continued.
"We saw last season how competitive the league is and it's been even more so this year.
"Sides such as Tottenham and Manchester City have raised their games, whilst other teams understand they have to improve if they want to stay in the league because it is so competitive. They have done that.
"It is a physically strong league and players have raised their game in that way too."
