Manchester United interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has warned the club not to go for years, without winning the Premier League title like Liverpool.
United have not won the league since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013.
The Red Devils came closest under Jose Mourinho last season, but they finished a distant second behind Manchester City.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have not lifted the league title since 1990 and, with 12 games to go, are level on points with leaders City, plus they have a game in hand.
United host Liverpool on Sunday and Solskjaer anticipates the 29-year wait for the title will be weighing heavy on their minds.
“Of course they do feel that pressure. I think all the supporters do and players probably do as well.
“But then we have not won it for a few years and so we want to get back to that. 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 target, 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,” Solskjaer told Sky Sports.
