Those In Top Four Should Be Scared - Manchester United Player Ander Herrera

 

Ander Herrera believes Manchester United’s form will have their rivals worried as the race for the top four heats up.  United are on a 15-game unbeaten run in the Premier League and although Jose Mourinho's side sit sixth in the table, they trail second-placed Tottenham by just five points.

Sunday's 3-0 victory at reigning champions Leicester moved United to within two points of the top four and Herrera is convinced momentum is building. He said “That's what we want, I think the fight with the first six teams in the league - and I add also Everton because they have a very good team - will be very tough. We all want to be in the top four and there's still a lot play for, but I think we are in a good moment. They can see Man United is chasing us. It is true that we did not win three games in a row before Leicester, but the feelings were good. I think we deserved more away at Stoke and against Hull at home, so I think we are in a good moment. We are fighting for a lot of things. Three competitions plus the Premier League, the race for the top four. I think we have a lot of things to play for. All the players in the squad want to play as many games as possible.”

Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, United have finished 7th, 4th and 5th in the league while last season's FA Cup is the only major piece of silverware they have won. Whether United will exercise more patience with Mourinho if he fails to finish in the top four remains to be seen but Herrera is confident the table will look different at the end of the season.
