"To win the Premiership we must win every game and hope Manchester United lose four points. I'd like to play Manchester United three times but we can't.

"It's still possible (4 trophies). We have a 25 percent chance to win the FA Cup, 12-1/2 percent to win the Champions League. To win the Premiership we need to win every game and we need Manchester United to lose four more points. It doesn't depend on us.

"We never played with our best team all season, never. When we play with a team similar to our best team we show what we can do. Everything went against us in this league from the beginning -- injuries, decisions. The Manchester United game we want to play now we have to play later on."
