Manchester United Goalkeeper has sent top four warnings to Tottenham and Arsenal after a 3-2 defeat to Norwich City.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s hattrick was enough to sink stubborn Norwich City. The Red Devils were 2-0 up in the first but Norwich City fought back through goals from Dowell K and T.Pukki. Ronaldo then scored in the 76th minute to put the host back in the driving seat.
Manchester United is now fifth on the League table 3 points shy of Champions League football next season.
The Red Devils have six matches remaining in the Premier League including a trip to Liverpool and Arsenal and play Chelsea at the Old Trafford.
Speaking to BBC after the game De Gea claims Manchester United will have to be at their best in the remaining six matches if they want to secure a Champions League spot.
What was said?
‘We know we are not at our best moment. The most important thing is the victory and we are closer to the top four.
‘A massive win for us. We still have a chance to finish in the top four and we have to fight for it. We will fight for the top four until the last second.’
With just six games left, United have put themselves in a good position to finish the season strongly, but they will have to be at their very best as upcoming fixtures include visits to Liverpool and Arsenal as well as a home game against Chelsea.
‘The spirit is there. Everyone is dropping points ups and down so we have a chance,’ added De Gea.
‘It’s not enough to be in the top four. We should control the game from the beginning and not give them chances. We give chances to every team so we have to improve a lot.
“We take the three points and let’s see on Tuesday [away to Liverpool]. I hope this victory gives us more confidence. We want to go there and try and win.
‘Cristiano Ronaldo is a top player, he always tries to score goals and tries to be there for the team.’
Meanwhile, Ralf Rangnick has praised Ronaldo after his Hat Trick helped manchester united beat Norwich
“Like against Tottenham, Ronaldo was very crucial,” he claimed. “They weren’t easy goals, it was just outstanding. It doesn’t make sense to be interested in the other results, we have to take care of our own results.”
