Daley Blind has defended Manchester United's recent results, insisting there are times when the team must play for a draw.
Louis van Gaal's side have been held to 0-0 stalemates in their last three matches in all competitions and also drew the last time they scored a goal, in the away game with CSKA Moscow in the Champions League.
Ahead of the visit of the Russian Premier League leaders on Tuesday, Blind has denied that taking only one point from the game at the Arena Khimki last month should be considered a bad result for United.
"If you think it is going to be difficult to get all three points, you can be happy in an away game with one," he told MUTV. "The main thing is that you don't go away with zero points.
"Sometimes you have to make sure that, in an away game, you get the draw. Read the game and see if it's possible to win or not and, if not, you play for the draw.
