Gary Pallister has insisted that his former club Manchester United's season is not over.
In order to progress beyond the last 16 of the Europa League, the Red Devils must overturn a 2-0 deficit against rivals Liverpool.
On top of that, they face an FA Cup quarter-final replay away at West Ham United and currently sit sixth in the Premier League, four points adrift of the Champions League places.
Nevertheless, despite the odds being stacked against inconsistent United, Pallister stressed that there is "still a lot to play for".
"The tie against Liverpool isn't dead, we're in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, obviously with a tough replay to come," he told the club's official website.
"We've still got a great chance to get into the top four and secure Champions League football again. I'm sure quite a few teams would take this as their season right now.
"There's still a lot to play for as we come into the last couple of months of the season."
This week United take on Liverpool on Thursday night, before making the short trip to neighbours Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
