Edwin van der Sar has challenged Manchester United to go on another winning run.

After eight successive victories, the Red Devils were brought crashing back to earth on Saturday when only an injury-time Anton Ferdinand own goal allowed them to grab a point from a dismal display against Sunderland.

"It was disappointing to drop points against Sunderland," he told MUTV.

"It is always nice if you can go away for the internationals with three points.

"Now we have to get a run going without losing any more.

"For the lads who have not gone away, there is plenty of hard work before then, and we will also have to see how everyone comes back.

"But we have to get back to business, forget about the draw at the weekend and start getting positive results again."
