David De Gea says he is "really enjoying" his first experience of the Barclays Premier League title race and insists the players are determined to get back on track against Aston Villa.
The Reds' 1-0 defeat at Wigan, coupled with Manchester City's 4-0 win at West Brom, saw United's lead at the top cut from eight points to five with five games remaining.
City travel to Norwich on Saturday lunchtime with Sir Alex's men hosting Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday and De Gea is confident the Reds can bounce back from the surprise result at the DW Stadium.
"It was a disappointment on Wednesday but sometimes it can be a wake-up call just to remind us that anyone is capable of winning games in this league, against any opposition," the goalkeeper told ManUtd.com.
"We will be even more focused now going into these last five games, starting on Sunday, and carry on that battle for the title.
"I am really enjoying the title race and I'm happy we still have a five-point advantage over Manchester City.
"We know there is still a little way to go yet and there is still plenty of work to do. But we can't wait for each game. I want Sunday to come round as quickly as possible. We want to keep putting in the performances we have been and we are determined to keep fighting to keep that advantage."
