Attacker wants to keep scoring against leaders

He said: “They’re still a few points ahead of us, so a victory for United really is a must.

“To give ourselves a better chance of being promoted, we have to win, it’s as simple as that.

“There will be a very big crowd at the match and that will help us.”

But the attacker is well aware of the fact United’s form of late has not been too great.

He was “disappointed” at the way they played in last Saturday’s 1-1 home divide against Morton.

It was a fortunate late leveller from Mark Durnan that gave the Tangerines a point and Andreu is hoping they can up their game.

“We could’ve done better against Morton but that’s football.

“That game is over now and we are preparing to face Hibs. We know what is at stake, we know we haven’t done well of late but we’re ready and willing to take on the challenge Hibs will present.”

Meanwhile, Andreu is “pleased” but added: “I always look to be doing better.”

He went on: “I hope I can keep my good form going. Scoring and playing well against Hibs will be a good way to continue things.”

Andreu is on loan from Norwich City, who he joined from Hamilton in a £1 million deal, and is enjoying his stay at United.

He added: “Everyone is very friendly and the club is a good and healthy one.”
