Matic admits Man Utd must be competing for Premier League and Champions League

Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic admits the club needs to be competing for the biggest prizes.

Matic admitted winning the FA Cup would not make up for United coming up short in the Premier League and Champions League this season.

“In the Premier League you have six or seven teams who want to win the league, so it's not possible to always win," said Matic.

“But if we win the FA Cup it's good, but not perfect. You have four competitions in the season - if you win one, for me, it's not enough, but you always have to do your best.

“In the Premier League, when you're in the first four, it's not perfect, but it's good to play for the Champions League next season. If you win the FA Cup, I cannot say it's a successful season, but it's a good season."
