Victor Lindelof remains hopeful Manchester United can finish in the Premier League top four this season.
United's season has been fairly disastrous. They were expected to contend for the Premier League title, but they've been left fighting to secure Champions League football instead, which has become increasingly difficult after a string of poor results.
It seemed United's hopes of finishing in the top four had all but officially ended last weekend after their ' 1-0 defeat to Everton, however, United beat Norwich on Saturday while rivals Arsenal and Tottenham both suffered shock defeats.

That means the race for the top four now seems relatively open again, albeit United are still the bookies' outsiders. United are three points behind Tottenham and they have to play Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea across their final six fixtures.
Lindelof was asked about the race for top four after Saturday's win and he's hopeful United can pull it off. “Especially at this stage of the season, the three points is very, very important,” Lindelof told United's in-house media.
“Obviously the results [elsewhere] today were in our favour, so just got to stick to it. [We need to] try to win as many games as possible and hopefully we can finish in the top four. I thought we made it a little bit too difficult for ourselves today,
"But we got the three points, so I mean, that's the most important thing. I think overall, we did an OK game. [In the] first half especially, we controlled the game we scored two goals and I think we could have just kept the ball a little bit better.
“It’s going to be a massive game [Liverpool] for us and I think everyone wants to be involved in that type of game. We are happy for the win today and now it's just time to recover and get ready for Tuesday.”
