Chicha: Winning Is Everything

Chicharito says the Reds are not worried by a recent lack of goals and insiss winning games is all that matters at the moment.

After failing to score in the FA Cup replay at Chelsea, the Reds' two goals in the last two league games have come courtesy of the opposition.

Chicharito maintains it doesn't matter who or how many goals United score, as long as the team wins. And he says the players are determined to bounce back from the Manchester derby defeat with victory at Stoke on Sunday.

"Sometimes you can score a lot of goals and sometimes you are only scoring a few. It's part of football," he told MUTV's Countdown to Kick-off show.

"In some parts of the season we have scored a lot of goals. In December [and into January] we scored at least two goals in a few games in a row. That happens.

"We are working very hard to try and create as many chances as we can and when we have those chances we always try to score. The most important thing for us is to win the games - even if we win 1-0 we would still love that."

The Reds, who need one more goal to make it 100 for the season, travel to the Britannia Stadium knowing a win will extend their lead to 15 points over City, who are on FA Cup semi-final duty against Chelsea at Wembley on the same day.

United may be within 10 points of claiming a 20th league triumph, but Chicharito insists no-one at Old Trafford is thinking of anything but three points on Sunday.

"We have to forget about that [when United could win the title]. We are only thinking about Stoke," he adds. "We are taking it game by game. It's Stoke now and then we'll think about West Ham [on Wednesday] and then the next game.

"We are working very hard in training and doing what the gaffer wants us to so we can put in a performance on the pitch."
