Manchester United striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has said they are back in the hunt for a ticket to next season’s Champions League.
United beat champions Leicester City 3-0 on Sunday. The win reduced the gap between them and fourth-placed Arsenal to two points, after the Gunners lost 3-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Ibrahimovic admitted that they have been their own enemy this season. Despite not losing in the league since the 4-0 loss at Chelsea in October, United have been in sixth position for 64 days.
“I think we are back in the hunt,” Ibrahimovic said.
“It was a big gap a couple of months ago, but it is smaller now.
“We have been our own enemy. If we had won our games and get the points we should have got the situation would have been totally different, but OK, now we look at other teams and hope they lose points.
“We have missed a couple of games by not winning them. If we had won them, the situation would have been totally different.
“But we are working hard and we really want to reach the top four and the Champions League.
“To be champions, it will be hard but this is our aim and we don’t give up.”
