"It means a lot for the fans - all the players and staff wanted to give a victory to the fans. If anybody deserves it, it is the fans this season.

"The goal we set at the start of the season was to finish in the top four. I'll be very pleased when we reach that goal.

"I said to [executive vice-chairman] Ed Woodward that it shall not be easy. Now we are in the first four, but we have six games still to play. It is not done yet but we are on our way."
