'We need to be a little bit more calm' - Cunha expects Man Utd improvement
· Yahoo Sports
Forward Matheus Cunha feels Manchester United thrive in "crazy moments" but is confident his team-mates can rediscover their form after the international break.
It took Cunha's deflected last-minute goal to rescue a point against a Fulham side that started Sunday's game bottom of the Premier League.

Former United skipper Gary Neville criticised the team's approach at the start of the second half, labelling it "pathetic".
Cunha accepts it wasn't the best version of themselves. However, he believes United's response to falling behind was encouraging and a positive sign for the future.
"I don't feel it was a bad performance," he said. "We lost maybe 20 minutes' control of the game, but after this we played very well, with a lot of character and a lot of energy.
"I feel this is part of Manchester United; this kind of energy to do it in crazy moments. It is the spirit of the team and then we do well.
"We need to improve and have this energy, these kinds of crazy moments, but at the same time, we need to be a little bit more calm in the decisions."
Five points from their opening five Premier League games is way below expectations.
United resume their campaign against Tottenham at Old Trafford on 10 October. Away games at Atletico Madrid and Como in the Champions League are split by a trip to Leeds United, with Chelsea and Roma among the other sides Michael Carrick's side have to face before the November international break, which is followed immediately by a visit to Liverpool.
"That could be a big month," said Cunha.
"Last season was my first here, and maybe it was crazier than this one. There was a lot of noise around us, because it was a season without Champions League.
"We still have a lot of trust and belief. But, of course, it's only the beginning. Last season we improved later and we finished third. So, I imagine if we improve earlier this season, something good can come."
