(Reuters) - Relegation-threatened Middlesbrough have to fight for wins instead of settling for draws if they want to remain in the Premier League this season, striker Rudy Gestede has said.

Gestede scored his first goal for Middlesbrough in Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Manchester United with the loss extending the side's winless streak to 11 league matches, a run that has seen them slip to 19th in the table, five points adrift of safety.
