Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has stated that he appreciates the fans' support as he continues to struggle for form this season.

The 27-year-old has failed to score in the Premier League since September and has netted just five times since making the move from Liverpool in January 2011.

Torres, however, has thanked the Chelsea fans for their support throughout his time at the club.

"I would like things to be much better but the support they give me every day is amazing. I remember a game against Wolverhampton and I was on the bench, and they were still singing my name," Torres told Goal.com.

"I've been very lucky to live very good moments but that game, when I was in the middle of nothing and not playing, was maybe the best memory I have in all my career."

Torres is expected to start when Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
