Marouane Fellaini says Manchester United have to improve after the club played out a goalless draw with West Brom on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho's side have registered a league high 11 draws so far this campaign, with eight of those coming at Old Trafford.

United's stalemate with West Brom leaves the club fifth in the table and in danger of being overtaken by Arsenal, with the Gunners facing Manchester City at the Emirates on Super Sunday.

In addition to the draw with the Baggies, United have been held to home goalless draws against Hull and Burnley this season, as well as 1-1 draws with Bournemouth, West Ham and Stoke.

"It's disappointing, everyone is disappointed," Fellaini told MUTV.

"We've lost a lot of points like that, but that's football and we have to keep fighting. We have to improve on that.

"When you play away, the other team tries to attack. It's not easy to play at Old Trafford, they came to take a point or win with a counter-attack. But we have to find a solution to win the game."
