Harry Maguire: Man Utd have to qualify for Champions League

The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games, and have won three in a row to climb back into the top six.

However, United are aiming for Champions League football and still find themselves six points behind Tottenham, who occupy fourth position.

"We've had a good period but that's it really, we're still not where we want to be, we're still playing catch-up on the points tally but it's been a nice few games for us," Maguire told Sky Sports.

"We've got another big game at the weekend and then another big game the weekend after, because that's what it is now.

"We're playing catch-up with the points so we've got to take each game as it comes and make sure we get the three points.

"At the start of the season, we didn't set our goals to be in the top four, we set bigger challenges than that but now we know where we are, we're realistic.

"We've got to reach Champions League football because it's what this club demands and it's where it needs to be next season."
