Red View: Nani interview, Sir Alex on the title, Man City video and more

NANI WANTS TO MAKE HISTORY Manchester United winger Nani is determined to help steer the Reds to a 20th league title as he explained to MUTV, ahead of Monday's derby with Manchester City... Was everybody flat after the Chelsea FA Cup defeat? I think everyone has been a bit disappointed and a bit down after that day. Everyone expected a good result but that's football. We have already spoken to the manager as a team about it and we know we still have a job to do. We have to focus on the next games and try to forget that. You've only started seven league games this season. Has that been frustrating? Yes, this season has been a bit disappointing for me as I've had a couple of injuries. It's been very difficult to be at my best but I've come back from injury and am trying to be at my best until the finish of the season. I hope that, next season, I can do what I like to do - play my football and be at my best. Do you feel better when you have had a run of games? It gives you confidence but, most importantly, you are fit and your fitness is at a higher level and that's what I'm trying to do. Now I'm feeling good and the confidence comes as normal. Do you still look at the Champions League and think 'that could have been us' after the Madrid game? Yes, sometimes when we watch the Champions League games, some friends come and say 'that was a very bad decision from the referee'. If I didn't come off, we should win the game but you cannot do anything and I guess you have to look forward. That's life. What would it mean to you to win your fourth Premier League title? It means a lot because I've been saying in the past that what you learn at this club is the mentality to always win every competition and the most important is the Premier League. So what happened last year made us very focused on this league for this year. I think we've been doing a very good job to be in this position and we want to win the league and make history for this club again. Is the pain of last season driving you all on? It's always like that every season when we lose something or should do better. Straight away when we've finished the league, we always try and focus on the next one and try to win, work very hard and give back to the other teams what they have done to us. Do you have to put the 15-point lead towards the back of your minds? It's difficult to forget that but we know the Premier League is very difficult. Every game. Every team has something to do and something to fight for and we know the next seven games will be difficult, every one, and that is why we are concentrating on the games - for every minute and every second. We will only relax when we know it's not possible for a team to compete with us.

In an exclusive interview with MUTV, the boss admits he is perplexed at any suggestion that the defeats to Real Madrid and Chelsea in the Champions League and FA Cup respectively could take some of the gloss off the campaign. Perhaps it is the commanding lead in the table that causes some pundits to claim there could be a 'flat' end to the season for the Reds but nothing could be further from the truth for the manager, who appreciates how difficult it is to win the league. Despite City chief Roberto Mancini's recent comments, the title race is still not over and Monday's derby is one that United will be desperate to win in order to stretch the lead even further to 18 points with seven fixtures remaining. Sir Alex said: "I was asked about only winning one trophy. I think that's a strange question in the context of the kind of competition we have as we're up against teams from London - Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea - plus Liverpool and Everton. "There are massive challenges every year [for both Manchester clubs]. For every one of those teams, the supporters want to win one trophy. I think we can win the one that really does matter to the fans in particular. "Yes, I'd love to win the Champions League again but I'd say that we were knocked out in circumstances everyone is still talking about. The disappointment at being knocked out by Chelsea is obvious but the league form has been fantastically consistent."

Red View: Smalling interview, Easter goals video and more

SMALLING READY FOR EASTER ACTION Chris Smalling is prepared to play alongside anyone of Sir Alex Ferguson’s choosing over the Easter weekend, as Manchester United return to action after a fortnight’s hiatus. The international break has been anything but a rest for the versatile 23 year-old, after completing two full games for England away to San Marino (8-0) and Montenegro (1-1). He played with five different defenders in those fixtures but a rolling cast is something Smalling is accustomed to, even on a day-to-day basis at Carrington. Smalling told Inside United: “In training we’re always swapping around so I’ll play with Phil [Jones], Rio [Ferdinand], Vida [Nemanja Vidic] and Jonny [Evans]. I’m always comfortable with whoever I play alongside.” Such flexibility could be Sir Alex’s friend as the Reds kick off twice inside 48 hours, at Sunderland on Saturday at 12:45 GMT and away to Chelsea on Monday at 12:30 GMT. Some pundits have already predicted two completely different United line-ups but the real selections are unlikely to be revealed until the respective matchdays. “It’s very rare that you’ll know much before a game whether you’re playing in it or not,” said Smalling. “For a Saturday game, we’ll stay in a hotel on the Friday night and then you’ll usually only know the team a couple of hours before the game. You just have to make sure you're prepared so you can be called upon whenever.” The same requirement to be ready also applies to substitutes of course and Smalling has entered the fray from the bench on several occasions this season, as a mid-game replacement for Evans, Ferdinand or Vidic. So what are his tips on picking up the tempo of the match? “You need to talk a lot straight away: to keep yourself and your team-mates alive to the opponents around you. You need to get your bearings because the strikers will be making all sorts of movements. If you make a mistake or you’re too slow you'll get punished, so you need to concentrate all the time."

Robin van Persie and his Arsenal team-mates couldn't find a way past Edwin van der Sar, though, and Wayne Rooney sealed the win. 2008/09: Fulham 0 United 4 - United cruised past the Cottagers and into the semi-finals to keep alive dreams of a potential quintuple. Everton scuppered that at Wembley but, on this day, anything looked possible as a Carlos Tevez brace inspired a comfortable victory. 2003/04: United 2 Fulham 1 - Defensive errors littered this performance but United had enough up front - namely, Ruud van Nistelrooy - to overcome a Fulham side that took the lead from the penalty spot. Van Nistelrooy equalised almost immediately before netting the winner after the interval. 1998/99: Chelsea 0 United 2 (replay) - After an eventful 0-0 draw at Old Trafford, United and Chelsea met again three days later. This time, the net bulged twice for Dwight Yorke - once after just four minutes and then, following a period of sustained Chelsea pressure, on the hour mark. 1994/95: United 2 QPR 0 - Goals from Lee Sharpe and Denis Irwin were enough to see off a plucky QPR side with Sharpe's celebration - an Elvis Presley impersonation with the corner-flag acting as a microphone - the enduring memory. 1993/94: United 3 Charlton 1 - Peter Schmeichel was dismissed shortly before half-time for handling outisde his penalty area but the 10-men Reds remained on course for the Double thanks to goals from Andrei Kanchelskis (2) and Mark Hughes.
