Hull City midfielder George Boateng has stressed the importance of the Tigers returning to winning ways against Bolton Wanderers at the weekend.
Phil Brown's side have suffered successive defeats against last season's Champions League finalists Chelsea and Manchester United and former Middlesbrough star Boateng is determined to taste victory again as soon as possible.
"Regardless of whether you're playing Manchester United or Bolton, you want three points for your team," said the Dutchman.
"We know as a team that we've got a job on our hands against Bolton. It's a must-win game for us now because we haven't got anything in the last two matches.
"We look at ourselves and the way we play. We'll take the second-half performance against Manchester United into the Bolton match.
"If you look at the quality in the Manchester United team it isn't a top-four team, it's the champions of the Premier League and the champions of the Champions League."
Despite the two recent defeats, City are sixth in the Premier League table with 20 points from their opening 11 matches.
