‘WE’LL CHASE CITY TO THE WIRE FOR TITLE’

NICK OF TIME: Aguero is buried after title winner

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has challenged his Manchester United players to produce a perfect end to the season — and give themselves the chance to avenge Sergio Aguero’s moment of glory.

United can cut rivals Manchester City’s lead at the top to eight points by beating Burnley at Old Trafford today.

Seven years ago, the Reds held exactly the same advantage going into the last six games — only to surrender the title with the final kick of the season when Aguero scored the most iconic goal in Premier League history as City claimed a dramatic victory over QPR.

Solskjaer doesn’t expect Pep Guardiola’s men to have a meltdown — but the United boss has warned his team they must be ready to pounce on any slip.

Solskjaer said: “Every game is important to Manchester United and we aren’t going to just give points away easily. Can we catch

City? Stranger things have happened in football. Bigger leads have been given away.

“City have been very strong and it’s probably too much to hope and ask for.

“But we have got to win every game in the league. After that we can only hope that something happens to them.

“We can’t control what City do. We’ve got to play it one game at a time because we’ve got some difficult matches left ourselves.”

The Norwegian is convinced this can be a breakthrough season for United.

The Reds have lost four semifinals on Solskjaer’s watch and will face Roma for a place in the Europa League final.

Solskjaer revealed that the pain of losing to Sevilla at the same stage last season has been a driving force.

He said: “You can see from the focus the players have that this time they want to go all the way to the final and lift the Europa League trophy.”
