Manchester United will finally secure qualification for next season’s Champions League if they avoid defeat against Chelsea on Thursday night.

United head into the game with a three point advantage over fifth placed Liverpool and that lead will become insurmountable if they emerge unscathed from their meeting with Frank Lampard’s men.

“First, we have to win the game tomorrow and get the job done. Then it’s about judgement from others if it’s a good, bad or normal performance. We are in a project, we want to go back and win trophies, we win one trophy but we want more trophies, compete with the best, we are still in a journey but we think we are in the right direction but it can always be better. Because good is not good enough.

“We want to compete with the best, then you have to be in the Champions League. We want to compete with the best and be in the Champions League. In the Premier League, you have to be one of the first four, that’s not easy, many are competing for it, many think they should be in and we are one of them.”

“It’s a similar situation to aproaching Manchester City, albeit they won the league the night before but they’re a high-level team who are in a positive way. It’s the same point from how I approached going into City, and how the players approach it more importantly. In terms of we haven’t got much on the game and the players have shown that there is in terms of their personal and collective approach to it. Obviously we have to go there with a very good mentality because they’re a good team fighting for something that we’ve fought for many years and now we’re not in the position, so, the players need to show.”
