Nemanja Matic says Manchester United can mount a title
challenge next season after they moved into the Premier League’s top
four for the first time since the opening weekend of the campaign.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s superb start to life as caretaker manager
continued with a comprehensive 3-0 victory for United at strugglers
Fulham.
Anthony Martial scored a superb solo effort in between two Paul Pogba
goals at Craven Cottage, putting United back in the Champions League
spots after a six-month absence.
They had been 11 points off fourth when Jose Mourinho was sacked in
December but Solskjaer’s side have dropped just two points since his
December appointment and Matic was buoyed by the latest win.
“We knew that if we win then we will be in fourth
position,” said the defensive midfielder. “Of course, Chelsea have one
game less, but we are happy for three more points.
“We played well, we fight for each other. Clean sheet, we scored three goals, so we are very pleased.”
United are the Premier League’s in-form side, with their upturn in fortunes and Matic talked up next season’s title chances.
“To win the league you need to win the games like we did in the last
seven, eight games,” said Matic, a two-time Premier League winner with
Chelsea.
“So you need to win six, seven games in a row, then you can drop some
points, to draw, to lose one game. But we have to continue, we have to
continue like this. We have to learn always, and this is the way to
play.
“This is the way to fight so if we play like this for the next season
then we will be one of the teams who is going to fight for the title.”
