Following Monday night’s win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Manchester United moved up to sixth and one point off the top four, which will be the club’s main goal for this season.
Last year, United fell to Tottenham in the Europa League final and finished 15th in the table, which has left them without European football this season. Speaking to GOAL vis Stake, Evra has revealed that if Champions League football is not achieved, the season can be considered a failure.
"It’s going to be tough. You’ve got Arsenal, City, Chelsea and Aston Villa giving it a real go. If United do not finish in the top four, then it'll be a massive disappointment - a failure.
"When I played for United, the goal was winning four trophies per season, and now we’re talking about qualifying for the Champions League. Our wages went down by 30 per cent if we didn’t qualify for the Champions League, but we never had that issue."
Three of the next four of those fixtures are at Old Trafford for United, theoretically giving Amorim and his side an excellent platform to push for Champions League qualification.
United face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium this weekend, a win could launch the club into the top four and in a great position to establish themselves as European contenders once again.
