Ryan Shawcross insists Manchester United Football Club are not unbeatable.

The Reds have made a sensational start to the season, winning the FA Community Shield and their opening five Premier League games.

United have also won their first UEFA Champions League group games, whilst they brushed past Leeds United in the Carling Cup on Tuesday.

Next up is a potentially tricky trip to the Britannia Stadium, but former Old Trafford youngster Shawcross feels he and his Stoke City pals can cause an upset.

"It will be hard to start that off against United as they are a top team - but everyone is beatable,” he told the Daily Mirror. "If we perform in a way we know we can, we know we have a chance."
