00:00It's nice that we play some very strong teams, with Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton and Palace.

00:09So that gives immediate challenge to those games.

00:14It's the end of the season, but we also have to look at this as the start of next season already.

00:19Chelsea away first, we played them earlier on in the season.

00:23I'm completely surprised, not shocked, but surprised if I look at the gap we have with them at the moment,

00:30because at that moment of time they were the better team on the pitch.

00:35But we found a way to win, and that is a quality that we didn't need a lot,

00:39because mostly we were the better team on the pitch.

00:42But in that game, we had to suffer more than any other game maybe.

00:49So to be so many points ahead of them is a big compliment for everyone here at this club.

00:54The message is very clear, we have to earn the right to win the game tomorrow,

00:59be better than Bournemouth, and win the game.

01:02That's what we have to do, and that's the way we have prepared since two days ago.

01:06None of us thought that we were going to be in the position that we are in today in the Premier League,

01:09but I'm really happy for him, I think he's doing an extraordinary job.

01:13The way he, I think he has changed a lot of things at the club as well,

01:18the atmosphere, the relief, the players that he's recruited, the way they play, really impressive.

01:23I think in the Premier League, every club that is in this position, they have the opportunity to do it,

01:28because now they have the consistency in the league, they have very, very good players,

01:33when you look at the players and the set-up that they have, it's really impressive.

01:38The hardest part is to, for the players, some players understand that if you play on Sunday,

01:45you can play Thursday, that is the first point, it doesn't matter.

01:50Then we have to, again, to show the importance of every game in Manchester United.

01:56Then every position that you have in Premier League, you win more money, so that's important.

02:02Then you're fighting for your proud.

02:05Of course, we don't have nothing to fight, we have this second leg really important for us,

02:09we know that, but we need to be competitive in every game.

02:12It's no surprise, I think Vols always had, in the last years, always have really, really good players,

02:18and now they have an incredible run, quite similar when Newcastle came a month ago,

02:23when Aston Villa came, so, yeah, another final for us.

02:30Obviously, that's where we won, four finalists we have, and then go for the first one.

02:37The position we, when we came in, obviously 40 points would be a great achievement if we can do that,

02:42and hopefully we can do that with the games remaining somewhere.

02:45I would like Everton to be thinking a lot higher than more than 40 points in the future,

02:51but I take your point, where we come in, it's a great position for us to be in.

02:55We've not got the stress of the remaining games and any of them having a great relevance to where we finish,

03:02but we want to keep, keep doing well, the team have been playing well in lots of games,

03:06so we hope we can keep it up.
