Goalkeeper David de Gea insists Manchester United are playing well despite their relatively lowly league position.
The Reds were on a run of six consecutive wins in all competitions before the shock home loss to Spurs.
But De Gea , who has himself been in excellent form this season, feels there are encouraging signs at Old Trafford.
"We have picked up plenty of momentum as the season has developed," he said.
"It was a real shame we couldn't get three points against Tottenham but we are playing well now.
"We need to keep performing and win as many games as we possibly can."
Nevertheless, it seems improbable United can retain their Premier League title, with a top four berth the only realistic hope.
It places more emphasis on the cup competitions. And as a relative newcomer to Old Trafford, De Gea is among the vast majority at United never to even play in an FA Cup final, let alone actually win the competition.
Sir Alex Ferguson never wasted an opportunity to underline the importance of a tournament United have won more often than anyone else.
And with home advantage in Sunday's third round tie with Swansea, De Gea sees no reason why they should not progress.
"The FA Cup is a competition with a lot of history," he said.
"There is a lot of romance associated with it and it would be terrific to win it.
"Being at home is a boost because we will have so many fans behind us.
"Still, Swansea are a tough side and it will be a complicated game for us."
Momentum, grrrr! I've never heard that word used as often in my life, it seems to be the medias chosen word everytime they win back to back games. You watch, if they win today and their next game it'll be 'Moyes men gathering momentum' what about us, or Arsenal or Chelsea for that matter, not heard the word used to describe our runs!
