Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows his Manchester United team are in for a fight if they want to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
After suffering defeat to Wolves on Tuesday, the Red Devils are now in fifth place on the log.
And Solskjaer says: “We need 15 points in the last six games so we don’t have room for any more losses.
“It is a difficult run, but then we are a very good team as well so it will be difficult for others who play against us as well.”
There is another route to next season’s Champions League for United and that’s to win the competition this term.

United face Barcelona in the first leg of their quarterfinal clash next week, with Solskjaer adding: “We will use one or two days to analyse and recover and then we will prepare for Barcelona, which will be a fantastic challenge for the club.”
Solskjaer was asked if the shine might be coming off his incredible start and replies: “I don’t think there is any kickback or re-setting.
“I was very pleased with the amount of chances [we created against Wolves], with the intent in the way we started the game and played.”
