Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov insists there's no reason to rely on Paul Pogba for a top four finish.

"Despite Friday's draw with Spurs, I feel United still have a chance to get into the top four," Berbatov wrote for Betfair.

"The draw wasn't beneficial for either team, I didn't think United played well in the first half, Spurs controlled it and they scored a great goal.

"Once Pogba was introduced into the game, you could see the way the rest of the team reacted, his presence lifted the players and great players can do that, especially if they have been out of the team for a while, like Pogba has, it lifted the mood for the team and he definitely made a difference.

"Saying that, the team shouldn't have to wait for their mood to be boosted by a player coming on, they should start like that from the beginning and take control of the match, which wasn't the case against Spurs.

"In the end, the draw was deserved for both teams, although both goalkeepers made some great saves. Overall, looking back at Friday's match, United can do better and they need to better if they want to go for top four."
