The main goal for Manchester United this season is qualifying for Champions League. Whether the Red Devils get there by winning the Europa League tournament (where they are currently alive in the round of eight) or by finishing in the top four, they must get it done.
They currently sit in fifth place, five points behind their crosstown rivals Manchester City, upon which they still have a game in hand.
With Manchester United’s goal not to claim the Premier League title, and second place out of reach as well, here is a link to much more on the odds the Old Trafford outfit has of getting there. United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic agrees that the target should be making the top four, and he’s confident they will get it done.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic told the Manchester United official website:
“One game can change a lot — suddenly you can be third, fourth, fifth, sixth,”
“First is too far away, second probably also. But otherwise it’s very tight and if you succeed in winning two or three games in a row then you’re in the Champions League spots.
“I think we will make it and we will be there. We have gained the points we need to be in the Champions League, though we are on the limit now. A little bit more and we will reach the top four I believe.”
