Ryan Giggs has called on his Manchester United team-mates to eradicate mistakes from their game if they want to win the Premier League title this season.
The veteran midfielder saw his side lose early ground on last season's champions Chelsea when they were held to a late draw at Fulham.
A leveller from Brede Hangeland at Craven Cottage was enough to see United drop two points they should have won, especially as Nani missed a penalty in the dying minutes which would have given the Red Devils a 3-1 lead and effectively end the game.
37-year-old Giggs has won the Premier League title on 11 times with United and despite his years is still enthusiastic to see his side win the trophy back from Chelsea.
He told MUTV the experience if losing the title last season by just one point makes reclaiming it the "most important" thing this time out. The Premier League 2010/11 betting suggests they have a chance.
The veteran added that United should not be losing games, or even dropping points, in games they are "capable of winning" - like they did last season.
"You know you are going to slip-up during a season, and every away game is going to be tough, but you have to limit the mistakes," Giggs said.
The midfielder's words echo those said by Sir Alex Ferguson after the Fulham game, with the manager criticising his players for dropping "silly points" which could prove crucial in the Premier League title race.
He said the penalty miss by Nani was an example of them "throwing two points away", and those lost two could be vital when you consider they only lost out to Chelsea by one back in May.
