“We always want to take the initiative,” he told reporters at the Aon Training Complex. “I thought we started on the front foot against PSG but, then again, they took the initiative so we will go into this game wanting to dominate the game but, then again, we know their strengths.

“We know they’re going to be waiting for our mistakes and counter attack but then, if we drop back, they can dominate us.

“So we don’t want to do that at Old Trafford, so we’ve just got to take that lead.”

‘We have to make sure that we don’t end up being happy being among the top four. If you aim too low and reach your targets then that’s more dangerous than aiming too high and missing them.

‘It is difficult to win the league here. It is probably the toughest league to win and when you look at it there are only five or six teams that have won the Premier League. Leicester did it – which was a miracle – before that Blackburn did it, but then there was a few big clubs that have won it.’
