Man Utd boss Solskjaer: We must beat Man City for ourselves

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says they need victory against Manchester City to keep their top four hopes alive.

Solskjaer insists the title race has no bearing on United's mindset ahead of Wednesday's game, as we aim to secure a top-four finish.

“It's not about taking something away from others," the boss said in Tuesday's pre-match press conference at the Aon Training Complex.

“We have to want to overtake them, and not just because it's City and Liverpool. For a supporter, as I am, and as a manager now as well, we know [them well] because they are so close in the vicinity.

“We want to be the best, we have been the best and it's not nice seeing those two at the top.“
