Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has stated that his side must not take their foot off the gas when winning games.
The Old Trafford outfit lost the Premier League title to Manchester City on goal difference last term, and as such the England man feels that the Red Devils should look to win each game by as many goals as possible.
“We know when we are winning two or three-nil we need to go and win five or six-nil,” The Sun quote Cleverley as saying.
“It does not need the manager to tell us we let sides back into games last season.
“With 60 or 70 games a season, if you’re two or three up you might think ‘We have another big game Tuesday so we can take our foot off the gas now’.
“But we have a squad to cope with the number of games so we can go all out for 95 minutes every game,” he commented.
Cleverley feels that Chelsea and Arsenal will have a big say in the title race this term, and the battle may well go right down to the wire once more.
“The way the four teams have started you can definitely see a four-horse race.
“Arsenal are probably playing the best stuff at the minute while Chelsea are winning games — which is what they are good at.
“It’s dog eat dog up there. You know if you get a bad result there’s going to be two or maybe all three of the other teams winning.
“You have to be on your game every week and a bad three or four-game run could be very significant. I think it will be the most competitive season ever,” he concluded.
