Focus on the task in hand – Amorimpublished at 16:50 GMT<\/p>\n

16:50 GMT<\/p>\n

Man Utd v West Ham (20:00 GMT)<\/p>\n

\"\"Simon Stone
BBC Sport Manchester United reporter<\/p>\n

Here we are again. <\/p>\n

Manchester United play in the last game of a Premier League
\nmatch round knowing victory will put them in a decent position in the table.<\/p>\n

Fifth is the prize if they beat West Ham at Old Trafford \u2013 or
\nfourth if they won 9-0.<\/p>\n

Importantly, there is a gap above that to Aston Villa and
\nManchester City, and another above that to leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n

While it is congested around them \u2013 United are in the middle
\nof a group of 11 clubs separated by five points \u2013 Ruben Amorim\u2019s side must
\nkick-on if they are to make significant progress this season.<\/p>\n

After tonight, they go to rock bottom Wolves and then host
\nbadly out of form Bournemouth, so there really is no excuse to slip up.<\/p>\n

But Ruben Amorim knows blew a similar chance against Everton
\nlast week, losing against a side reduced to 10 men after 13 minutes.<\/p>\n

Understandably, he doesn\u2019t want to look too far ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the start of a busy month with a lot of games and
\nopportunities to continue our progress,\u201d he says in his programme notes for
\ntonight\u2019s match.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it is important we focus only on the performance
\ntonight and do not look too far ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t mention the Everton game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Focus on the task in hand – Amorimpublished at 16:50 GMT 16:50 GMT Man Utd v West Ham…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325441,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-325440","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325440\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
