The Reds know that a draw would be enough to qualify for next season’s Champions League, but a win would secure third place and the win is exactly what Ole insists his players will aim for.
The manager spoke to MUTV’s Stewart Gardner before the championship finale and Ole said everyone is looking forward to the challenge, with the team fully focused on getting the job done …
Ole, first of all, how do you feel on Sunday?“I can not wait. We have been chasing this position for a long, long time. We wanted to get to this last game with the opportunity to finish the championship vigorously and overcome Leicester. We have now entered the last game, we have done fantastic since the restart and we have given ourselves good chances. “
At that point, at the start of the unbeaten race, we were actually 14 points behind Leicester. Does this show how far we have come in 2020?“I think it shows how well the kids played and you can tell how far we’ve come – there’s more consistency there. Obviously it is not easy to chase teams and get points, but now is not the time to say that it has been fantastic so far. We still have a game and we have to go there and get a result, we want to go there to try and win and then we can count later! [Smiles]
