JAKARTA - Manchester United coach Ralf Rangnick said his team did not want to give up on pursuing a top-four position despite having just played a 1-1 draw against Leicester City in Week 31 of the Premier League at Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester, Saturday.

Quoted by Antara from Sky Sports on Sunday, Rangnick said Manchester United's hopes of ending the season in the top four remained as long as it was mathematically possible.

"As long as it (the top four) is still mathematically possible, it's possible. It's your job and your job to do your best to end the season in the best possible position", said Rangnick.

The German coach added that the picture is clear for Manchester United at this time is to end the season in the best position.

"For us, it's my job and all work to end the season in the highest and best possible place. Saying that doesn't mean ending in fourth place", said Rangnick.

Rangnick said dropping two points made the situation for Manchester United more difficult, but they chose to shift their focus to their next game.

According to him, his team should start putting aside looking at the table every weekend, speculating and anticipating what might happen, and saying Manchester United is not favorites to end the season in the top four.

"But the season isn't over yet, we still have eight more games to play, and then it's time to draw the right conclusions and take the right decisions for next season."

Currently, Manchester United is in the 6th position of the Premier League standings with 51 points from 30 matches and is competing with several teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur to end the season in the top four.
