 | Smiling:The second place is a minimum program for us28-02-2018 |
To finish 2nd in the end of the season in the Premier League is a minimum for Manchester United, Defender Chris Smiling said today. Over the weekend, the Red Devils turned Chelsea from 0:1 to 2:1 and moved to 13 points by Manchester City, who also has one match less with 10 rounds left until the end of the campaign. And while Jose Mourinho`s team was in second place for most of the season, Liverpool is only 2 points behind, and Tottenham is still 2 in 4th place. `I think it would be quite just and deserved if we are at least 2. This is a minimum program for us, and the fact that we play at home with Liverpool gives us a great advantage. we`re getting away from Liverpool and Chelsea and working on our model, but you know Manchester United should be the first in principle, `said Smiling, quoted by local media.
Chelsea is 5th in the league, 6 points from United, which have not finished in the top 3 of 2013. On Monday, United are visiting Crystal Palace, and on March 10th is the important Liverpool derby. `I think when you beat a direct rival or your big enemy, it`s always a 6-point match, even more so now that we are so close to the standings, ` added the English national.
