Man Utd: Premier League club’s revenue up to £133.8m

Sunderland have not beaten United at home in the league for nearly 19 years and Allardyce says they will have to win more games in their final 13 matches than they have in their previous 25 to have any hope of staying up. “He makes it look so effortless. The potential is certainly there”, said Michael Carrick of 20-year-old Martial.

Louis van Gaal’s side are six points behind fourth-placed Manchester City and are still in the running for a Champions League spot.

City, third place, sit seven points behind United but can close that gap with a victory of their own and would also still have a game in hand on Sunderland.

“It’s easy to forget the age he is and how little football he’s actually played as well”.

Adnan Januzaj (hamstring) and Guillermo Varela (knock) both suffered injuries with the Under-21 side on Monday, adding to United’s lengthy injury list, but Phil Jones (ankle) returned to the pitch in that game.

Manchester United have the best points per game record in the history of the Premier League in the month of February (2.26) and have lost just nine of their 85 games in the month.

“We have to battle on though, keep going and play something like we have been doing over the last few weeks and then see where that takes us”.

West Ham United sent Liverpool packing in the FA Cup midweek, bouncing back from the defeat at Southampton last weekend, and they will be eager to get back to winning ways in the Premier League this weekend as they continue their pursuit of the top five.

Newcastle travel to Chelsea on Saturday and they will be more confident than ever of getting a result at Stamford Bridge.

“I think that we are going to have to fight until the end of the season now”.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils now find themselves fifth in the league table with 41 points from 25 games.

“Goalscorers – Jermain Defoe and Wayne Rooney”.
