WE’LL HUNT DOWN CITY

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER vowed to keep the pressure on Manchester City after cutting their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points.

Manchester United’s win over Burnley saw them close the gap to the same position from which they blew the title in 2012, losing to City on goal difference on the final day.

Solskjaer (right) does not expect City to fold like that, but said there will be no let-up from his team after two-goal hero Mason Greenwood sealed victory before Edinson Cavani (below, left) grabbed a late third.

“Our fitness and belief has improved this year,” said Solskjaer. “It’s probably unrealistic to think we can catch City but stranger things have happened in football. We just have to do our job.

“I’m really proud that we never give up and we’ve proven our fitness and resilience so many times this season.

“We came back last week and scored three goals against Tottenham and we scored three goals in the second half again here. We’ve always said this year has to be about progress and improvement. We’ve got as many points as last season – if we get more than we got last season, that’s progress.”

Greenwood, who went 15 games without a goal midway through the season, took his tally to five in his last six games. “I knew the goals would come,” he said. “I’ve just got my head down and taken my opportunities.

“I’m happy that I’m playing a lot and that Ole trusts me. I want to help my teammates and it’s showing.”

On potentially catching City, Old Trafford forward Greenwood echoed his boss and said: “You can never have doubts.

“They might slip up and you just have to keep concentrating. We have to win our games, then whatever happens will happen. Anything is possible. Hopefully they’ll drop more points before the end of the season, but we’ll just focus on our games.”
