Louis van Gaal is targeting two more victories in his Manchester United side’s final Premier League games of the season as they continue their quest for a Champions League spot.
Juan Mata’s second-half goal against second-from-bottom Norwich City secured a 1-0 win at Carrow Road on Saturday that left United fifth in the Premier League and one point behind fourth-placed Manchester City who host Arsenal on Sunday.
Anything other than victory for City would put United’s bid for a top-four finish in their own hands.
FA Cup finalists United head to West Ham on Tuesday before completing their league season against Bournemouth.
“Obviously the main thing for us was to get the three points today and we did that well,” United manager van Gaal said.
“I thought we looked comfortable. It was much-needed and now we can concentrate on the West Ham game.
“They (Norwich) sat back deep and let us play, they made it tough for us,” the Dutchman added.
