In an interview earlier, former Manchester United striker Robert Berbatov talked about the current situation of the Red Devils. He said that if United want to qualify for the Champions League, they need to know how to win ugly victories.
Berbatov said: "If you don't win against the team at the bottom of the table, it's hard to succeed. Manchester United against Burnley should have been a win, but they didn't do it, it doesn't matter how you win, what matters is that you need to get three points in a game like this. ”
"Manchester United haven't done that, it's not good. On paper, their squad is much better than Burnley's, but they also have to prove it on the pitch. In the competition of the top four, they took a big step backwards. If you don't win a match against a team at the bottom of the rankings, then you're going to have problems. ”
"It's not enough to just play against the leading team, there are 15 other teams in the league that you have to beat. If, from now on, United can't get all three points in this type of game, then I don't think they will be able to qualify for next season's Champions League. ”
"This type of game you need to win, even in an ugly way. Because Burnley loves physical confrontation and they are always fighting, United need to be smart in this type of game and know how to win ugly victories, otherwise they may only finish sixth at the end of the season. ”
