Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal insists his side have not secured a top four spot just yet, despite the Red Devils leap-frogging neighbours Manchester City to move into third place in the Premier League.
Van Gaal’s side ran out 3-1 winners against Aston Villa on Saturday to move up the table, with Ander Herrera scoring either side of a wonderful Wayne Rooney effort, but the Dutchman still believes his side have work to do if they are to achieve their target.
Speaking afterwards he said: “No [we haven’t], because we still have to play the first three in the league.
“It’s not done yet.”
With Liverpool losing 4-1 to Arsenal earlier in the day, United’s victory puts them eight-points clear of their Merseyside rivals and just one behind the second-placed Gunners with seven matches remaining in the season.
Up next for United is the visit of City in what will be a pivotal clash in both of their seasons, before a tricky trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
