I think the club recognise that a couple of good results in these games will help the atmosphere around the club going into the summer. If we get spanked twice the unrest will be palpable.
It's an additional £2m per place starting with £2m for 20th position. (We currently stand 15th so £12m) Every team gets a guaranteed £85m from TV rights and we will get an additional £10-12m for live games. Non of this contains cup matches.
3 points against Man U and our final game becomes a little bit more interesting ! as we will be involved in a 6 way battle for 10th place with Newcastle / Watford / Bournemouth / Crystal Palace / Brighton.

Usually its games like these Rashford and Sanchez suddenly turn it on and smash in goals.
The good news is that Sanchez only scored in two games out of the seven he's played against us, the bad news is one of those two games was at the London Stadium last season where he scored a hat trick.
Rashford has also played us seven times but has only scored once, in an FA Cup replay in 2016
Fed up of demanding 2 up top but there can be no excuse now we are safe. Would have preferred to see Hernandez there with Arnie but let's see if Carroll and Arnie can play together to learn for next season. Should give Zab at least one match off and try Fernandes as RWB.
I’m desperate for a big home performance before the long summer. I just hope we go at them, shackles off. Defensive won’t work because we’re rubbish at defending.

Moyes will want the extra league positions to strengthen his hand when it comes to re-negotiating his contract.
Can't see us resting players, TBH. Full strength for the last two games I reckon.
