Paul Pogba: 'Manchester United can still finish in top four in Premier League'

Pogba: 'United can still finish in top four'

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has claimed that the club should still be looking to achieve a top-four place in the Premier League table.

Manager Jose Mourinho has suggested that he will place priority on their bid to win the Europa League, which would earn United a spot in next season's Champions League.

However, with United just one point adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City, Pogba wants his team to continue their bid to finish in fourth place before a potential final against Ajax or Lyon.

The 24-year-old told MUTV: "Of course, we have to believe. Obviously, we want to do it and we can. Of course we're strong enough, we are Manchester United and we can do this.

"To be in the top four, our mind has to go there, and we also want to win the Europa League.

"We have to keep our heads on the challenge and the big objective; we want to achieve the big goals, not the small ones. We're confident of that. We're young and fresh."

United are likely to rest players when they face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
