For me, I think the top four as it stands has probably been the best four teams over the season so far in terms of quality. I think Leicester deserve a top four spot over Liverpool and West Ham, as do Chelsea, I want us to win all of our games so though not so bothered either way, I would like us to win, more importantly is that we beat Liverpool though

I want to win.

However & nothing to do with Liverpool(couldn't give a damn about what they do), I want a heavily rotated team.

We need Pogba, Rashford, Bruno, Shaw, cavani & maguire to be fit for the final


We obviously can't drop them all but if 3 play one game the other play the next.

I still want us to win but I'd much prefer we drop points here than on Thursday.

No you're understanding it wrong. If the winner of EL and CL are already top 4, no additional spots are given. The additional spots are only given to those who win EL and CL and weren't top 4 in their league.
Ah yes that's right, makes sense now thanks!

Sorry years of supporting United makes you unfamiliar such qualifying rules (not counting the last few years of course haha)

I want us to win and I want us to beat Liverpool on Thursday and be behind 4 points behind Man City. It’s football and anything can happen so I’m not giving up hope until it’s mathematically over.

Want us to win, the closer we finish to City the better. If we can narrow it to under six points it would be such a boost to morale for next season.

Prefer Liverpool in the CL, wouldn't be surprised if Klopp throws the EL and concentrates on the league.

Obviously want to beat them, but there are a good few names I don't want to see playing before factoring in the potential outcomes of the game.

Win both games and we are 4 points behind city. i know its almost inevitable they win it, but id rather we finish as close as possible to city.

So rotate for Leicester, but if we're stating what we want, id want us to win both games. Win every game for that matter.

Absolutely not.

Lose to Leicester with reserves 4-3 in an end to end entertaining game and smash Liverpool basically secures us both 2nd in the league and causes one of our rivals to miss out on Europe's biggest competition.

That would be the perfect scenario.

Can no-one else see the bigger picture here?

Everton are back in the mix for Top 4, and guess what? Everton play City on the last day of the season.

We need to win all our games.

We have agent Bruce to work some magic against City on Friday.

We then have the Potter fella to work some real magic against City on the South Coast.

We then have Everton needing a win on the last day to finish in Top 4.

It ain't over till it's over!

Exactly.
The slightest chance of us winning the PL > Liverpool not getting CL.

It doesn’t really guarantee anything. Liverpool have 3 very winnable games and could easily end up with 66 points. Even if Leicester beat us, they will have to get one point out of Chelsea & Tottenham games and I can see them losing both.
Rather focus on us and get as many points as we can.

I want my team to win every match, I don't understand why any fan wouldn't want them to win? I'd be ecstatic if we win every game until the end of the season.

I do, but I also don't have any issue with us playing a reserve side on Tuesday, and then bringing the big guns out on Thursday for Liverpool. If Leiscester still can't beat us then that's their problem.

Win against Leicester and win against Liverpool, simple.
Damn right x1000. And to hell with City getting the title over us dropping points. That Sky commentator had his pants down at the thought of getting to call the moment when Villa scored and kept referencing it afterwards somewhat desperatley.

The team selection concerns me though.

We all love United
I do think Leicester can beat a listless Spurs at home on the final day if they need a result to finish top 4. A draw at Chelsea for Leicester as well isn't that far off too. I also think Chelsea may ease off abit now that they are also pretty much qualified for top 4

I want to make the distance between us and City as little as possible.

Liverpool won't qualify to the Champions League anyway, so I don't care about them.

I want to win all games tbh. If I'd be okay with losing another game this season, it would be the Wolves game, since we have the Europa League final 3 days later, so I'd be good to rotate quite a bit for that one. 2nd will be secured at that point anyway.

Yeah, I want us to win every remaining game. It'll keep momentum going, ensure a strong 2nd place finish, and give us the opportunity to rest players for the Wolves game and keep them fresh ahead of the EL Final.

If we are to lose a game, then the Leicester one certainly wouldn't be the worst one if it helps keep Liverpool out of the top 4. But even that has a negative as, if they're not in the CL next season, they'll probably prioritise the league next year and that's the main competition I hate them winning.

I want us to win it but, given that we'll be making huge changes for it, and that there's at least a positive if we lose, then it's a game - along with the Wolves game which I hope very few regulars feature in - that I'll be less nervous about than usual and less bothered if we do lose. But I certainly won't be wanting us to lose either of them.

I want to beat Leicester with a changed team and beat Liverpool and beat everyone else too. I think we will beat Leicester but will be tough against Liverpool.

If we win, it will be a cagey and drawn out affair with us possibly nicking a late winner. The thought of reducing the deficit to 4 points before city line up again has to be the motivation. A little bit of pressure and you never know...

I hope we spank them. Revenge for that QF loss also we need to keep momentum before the final
