Former Manchester United star Paul Ince wants the team to focus their attention on the Europa League.

United are struggling for form and consistency in the Premier League.

Their latest result was a 1-1 draw at home against top-four rivals Arsenal. And Ince thinks the Europa League could make or break their season.

He told Paddy Power: "For me, Ole needs to focus on the Europa League now and make it a priority. Similar to how Jose Mourinho did, he knows that realistically, it's United's best chance of Champions League football.

"Because, let's be honest, top four looks like it's going to be a struggle. At the minute, they don't look like they will make it.

"And while United are falling, teams like Leicester are building and looking to make those spots. And, realistically, all United can hope for nowadays is a top four place, because they're so far off winning a league title.

"It's a trophy, it's a Champions League space, and when your team look like they might not be capable of making the top four in the Premier League – why not try and win it? It's got to be the main target.

"Don't throw away the league of course, but I don't want to see a weakened team against AZ Alkmaar. I know it's not a tough opponent, but both that game and Newcastle this weekend should be games they're winning, no question.

"It'll be very disappointing if they don't win both. For United, at the moment, every game is a big game."
