Jose Mourinho is still targeting a top-4 finish for Manchester United.

United is currently eighth.

"I know it's a big gap but I also know that until the end of December, if I'm not wrong, we have eight Premier League matches to play," he told a news conference on Friday.

"Eight Premier League matches -- we are speaking about 24 points, 24 points for us to fight for the other ones in the top four to fight for too, but I believe we are going to be there."
