Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is happy where his team sits in the standings.
Van Gaal will be satisfied if United hold on to third place and fulfil his primary aim of qualification for the Champions League.
But he made it clear that first place is ultimately all that matters and what drives him on at the age of 63 when financial security is no longer an issue.
"We live for these titles," he said. "We are doing this for that. The only satisfaction you have as a manager is when you win a title.
"When you are second or third you can play Champions League, but a title is more fixed and you have your name on it. That's why managers are fixated on titles. When you reach that goal you are happy.
"To be involved in the game with young people to reach a goal, that is why I'm still a manager because I don't have to work any more - you can count on that."
