Edinson Cavani urge United teammate be ready to fight on facing Fulham

Cavani wants United to be the team to beat for other clubs.

He urges his teammates to stay a 100 percent focused against the Cottagers.

Edinson Cavani told the club's official website: "I believe that one of the most important things that we need to be aware of, whenever we go into any game, is that we are Manchester United.

"Irrespective of whether we are top of the league or in any other position, every other team that plays against Manchester United try to do their absolute best to try and beat them.

"We want to fight to stay right where we are [competing for the top spot]. For all that, we need to be ready and mentally prepared to compete. And that’s what in the end, allows you to achieve your ultimate goal."

The Uruguayan striker added: "As I was saying before, Fulham will know very well that they have Manchester United coming up next, and they’ll be going all out to try and beat us, like they have done in the past and just like what we’ve seen with other teams like Burnley, who always give their utmost.

"So we need to be aware that it’s going to be a tough game and that we have to be 100 per cent focused, in order to take care of all the details so we can try to win the game."

Indeed, the Red Devils will have their work cut out against Fulham this Wednesday. A win is crucial to regain our lead at the top - Leicester City are ahead of us by a point after beating Chelsea on Tuesday.
