“I think the fight with the first six teams in the league - and I add also Everton because they have a very good team - will be very tough,” the Spanish player said at the unveiling of the TAG Heuer Manchester United Watch Collection.
“We all want to be in the top four and there's still a lot play for, but I think we are in a good moment.
“They can see 'Man United is chasing us'.
“[We’re] still sixth [but] wait, it's not finished yet.
“I think we have more points than last season and two seasons ago. The opponents are also better than the last two seasons.
“Sometimes in football there is no explanations, so the most important thing is when we finish the league we'll talk again.”
