Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stated that his team would "never give up" on winning the Premier League.
If United defeats Burnley on Sunday, they will trail leaders Manchester City by eight points after 32 games.
DON'T MISS:
In 2011-12, City trailed United by eight points after 32 rounds but rallied to win the championship on goal difference on a dramatic final day.
The city will not play in the league this weekend due to their FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea, but they have played one more game than United.
Both City and United have lost four league games this season, but City has won five more and is on a 15-game winning streak in the league, leaving United trailing.
Despite the comparisons to 2012, Solskjaer thinks a United title challenge is still 'unrealistic.'
"Of course, we're not going to give up."
"Manchester United will never, ever give up," said Solskjaer.
"This club has had too many losses and too many great comebacks for it to be ingrained in our DNA."
Is it feasible?
No, most likely not.
When you have a squad as consistent as Man City, you don't expect them to lose three of their last six games.
We want to end the season well and take it one game at a time as long as we do our work.
DON'T MISS:
The truth is that you must make incremental change.
If we can finish second and keep playing, if Man City wins all of their games and we win ours, you want to finish high."
Last year I finished third, this year I finished second, and I'm on the verge of winning a trophy.
It is a step forward.
It is not the endgame; the endgame is league victory.
But it's a step-by-step process, and if we do it well enough, we'll get trophies and league titles, which is, of course, our goal.
All understand what I'm talking about.
It's a step-by-step method."
