But we are aware of the fact that it’s a very big game, not only because we play Man United, but definitely also to qualify for the Champions League and to get the highest possible position in the league table, which of course is something we want.“We wanted to, of course, win the league. And then you have to try to end up as high as possible, and that’s what we are trying week in, week out, and that’s what we’re going to try Sunday again as well.”Meanwhile, Carrick said in his pre-match press conference: “It is a standout game.
There are big games, big rivalries that we have with other teams, but this one is right up there.“The history of it, ups and downs that the past has produced in these types of game and the excitement and entertainment and the emotion, which is a huge part of it, makes it a really special game.”
