Manchester United will use the sadness of losing Chelsea’s 4 most sensitive FA Cup opponents as motivation for tonight’s Premier League clash with West Ham.
According to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who delivered his verdict on the war of the 4 most sensitive, as United sought to take a firm stance with victory at Old Trafford tonight (Wednesday, start at 6 p.m.).
United’s attack on West Ham comes just before Chelsea against Liverpool. And after Leicester City’s defeat to Tottenham on the weekend, 4 issues from United’s last two matches will be enough for the Champions League qualifiers. Solskjaer told the club’s official online website that they may not worry about the effects of other teams.
“And that’s why we have to do it with ourselves,” the United coach said.
“We can’t lose sight of it and keep an eye on the performance of others. If we do our job, that’s all we want to focus on. There are only two games left, but it’s also two games in progress. This team and the field of this team.
“This team is all the time and sadness of Sunday, I’m sure, it will give us the preference and determination to recover.”
Solskjaer admitted that his team had exceeded expectations by fitting up the favourites to finish in the top four, and could still claim third place if Chelsea lost problems to Liverpool.
United will face Leicester this weekend and a win over West Ham would ease some tension at the 4th most sensible final at the King Power Stadium.
Solskjaer added: “We put ourselves in a position, probably a bigger position than anyone expected.
“A few weeks ago we thought that if we can get into the Leicester match and win it, we have a chance.
“Now, of course, if we can win on Wednesday and tie with Leicester at last, we’re still finished. Now, however, it’s the West Ham with all eyes on that. We have come this far and it is a Vital few days now, with a lot of energy in our body.
