Finishing second is the least for Manchester United - Chris Smalling

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has said that finishing second is the bare minimum for his side this season.
Manchester City have opened up a 13-point lead at the summit of the Premier League table, with Jose Mourinho among others conceding the title is all but theirs . Smalling believes it is now crucial for United to finish as the country's second best. 

He said "I think obviously we've been second for quite a while and that needs to be our bare minimum, the fact we get to play Liverpool at home as well I think is a big advantage. If we can separate ourselves from Chelsea and Liverpool and work our way up then we can do that but I think that's our goal first and foremost."
