Luke Shaw knows Manchester United still need to make widespread improvements despite heading into Saturday's derby against Manchester City boosted by two positive results.

This time last week the Old Trafford giants were in the eye of a storm, with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under intense pressure following a 5-0 home loss to rivals Liverpool.

United rallied impressively to win 3-0 at Tottenham in the Premier League and took another step forward in the Champions League on Tuesday as Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue.

The Portuguese star’s last-gasp strike sealed a barely-deserved 2-2 draw against Atalanta and left-back Shaw knows there is a lot of work to do despite the upturn in results.

“I think if you look at it, if you look at the group, (it was) an important point,” the England international said, with Solskjaer’s side top of Group F.

“Of course it’s not what we wanted. We wanted three points.

“But I think you have to look at the way the game went and the score towards the end, I think you would take a point in this situation.

“But of course we know we’ve still got a lot to improve on.

“You know the results the last couple of games have been a bit better, but we’ve still got work to do and we’re sort of in charge of our own group now.”
