Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has said that Manchester City will surely finish in the top four and the last spot was between his team, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Mourinho was speaking after their 0-0 draw with City on Thursday, a result that leaves United one point outside the top four places.
“I think Man City is going to finish top-four, the matches they have to play I see them doing that. I think it’s between us, Arsenal and Liverpool [to finish in the top four].
“We are going to try, but the reality is that we have a Euro semifinal to play, we have lost a lot of players but we are going to fight until, mathematically possible,” the Portuguese said.
Mourinho will be without midfielder Marouane Fellaini for at least three of their remaining five fixtures, after he was shown a red card with five minutes left.
His joins a list of unavailable players which also includes Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcos Rojo, Juan Mata, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Paul Pogba, who all missed the derby through injury.
“The team is in trouble. The team has a lot of problems and to play a big derby like this one in the way we did shows resilience and big character from the players,” Mourinho added.
