"But then you look at the table and everyone is two points behind. Everything can change in one week. Let's focus. I think the best way of doing things, especially with our team, is to focus just on the next game. To go in the position of Champions League in the next weeks, yes, it is realistic. The future? I don't know. I want to continue near that position next week. Then the rest we will see."
"United snapped a three-match winless run with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace last time out. With Chelsea falling to a 3-1 loss to Leeds United on Wednesday, the Red Devils are now just three points behind the fourth-placed Blues, who do have a superior goal difference. United have suffered just one defeat in their last seven outings, with that coming in a 1-0 loss to Everton at Old Trafford last week, giving them renewed hope of a push for Champions League qualification."
"And Amorim, whose team will move into at least fifth should they beat West Ham on Thursday, sees no reason not to be positive. Despite West Ham's poor run of form, a win is anything but guaranteed for United, who have lost four of their last five Premier League matches against the Hammers (W1) - more than they had in their previous 28 games (W19 D6 L3)."
Manchester United recovered with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, ending a three-match winless run. Chelsea's defeat left United three points behind fourth place, though Chelsea retain a superior goal difference. United have lost only once in seven matches, the defeat coming to Everton at Old Trafford. A victory over West Ham would place United at least fifth. Ruben Amorim emphasised focusing on the next match and described a Champions League push as realistic in the coming weeks while urging patience over Lisandro Martinez's return from a 10-month injury layoff.
