Manchester United midfielder Fred says the players are keen to secure qualification to the Europa League knockout rounds when we face Partizan Belgrade at Old Trafford on Thursday.

The Reds are top of Group L on seven points and will progress to the last 32 of the competition with a win over the Serbians.

After our 1-0 victory at the Partizan Stadium two weeks ago, a repeat in Manchester would mean Savo Milosevic’s side, currently third on four points, would be unable to catch us with two games remaining, due to our superior head-to-head record.

“It's important that we always go after the win,” insisted the South American. “It was a good game against Partizan.

“They're a quality team, they are very good, we felt, but we had a good game as well.
