​Shaw insists top-four priority for Man Utd over cup competitions

Manchester United star Luke Shaw insists it is all about finishing in the top four.

The Red Devils still have the FA Cup, where they face Chelsea in a semi final at Wembley.

But Shaw knows the financial and prestige aspects of being in the Champions League for a club like United.

He hopes they can continue the recent winning run to clinch a top four spot when the league concludes.

"It's great [but] we don't want to get too comfortable with it, we want to keep pushing ourselves. We believe next season will be a very good season and we have got big priorities to obviously reach the Champions League," Shaw said, per Sky Sports News.

"We are still in two cup competitions that we believe greatly that we can win. As long as we all stay fit and we keep doing what we are doing, I don't see why we can't achieve these things.

"Top four - Champions League next season - is the biggest for us. Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world. We need to be in the biggest competitions and I think the games we have left, they are winnable.

"If you look at the start of the season, I think these are games that we didn't get points in or struggled in.

"Hopefully we have turned our fortunes around and we have learnt from what we weren't doing back then and we feel confident with our run in that we can get maximum points and I don't see why we can't."
