Captain Cesc Fabregas has urged his team mates to continue to believe in themselves in the wake of the 3-1 defeat to Manchester United.

The midfielder also brushed aside the doubters and said all that mattered was that Arsenal finish the season as strong as possible.

The Spaniard put the defeat down to essentially what was a bad day at the office, and emphasised that it was up to the team to prove the naysayers wrong.

Fabregas said: "I think we have to be positive. It is very easy to say we lost to Man United and let our heads go down.

"We have to be strong, be together more than ever and do our best until the end of the season.

"United had their chances to score even more goals and they also missed [them]. They were the better team and that's it. They competed better than us.

"With all my respect, I really don't care what people think about us. It's about what we believe up until the end of the season.

"People are not going to play for us and it is up to us to show what we can do.

"People watch the football and enjoy it but we must do our talking on the pitch."
