Here are your Monday morning Manchester United headlines.
Fernandes sets challenge
Bruno Fernandes has told his Manchester United teammates to forget what Liverpool are doing and focus on claiming the two wins they need to book a return to the Champions League.
United have stumbled recently and their 2-0 win against Wolves at Old Trafford on Saturday was only their second win in five Premier League games and their fifth in their last 11 matches, dating back to the 7-0 defeat at Anfield.

Liverpool failed to build on the momentum of that success but ahead of Monday's trip to Leicester City they have won six in a row in the league to force their way back into the top-four battle.
But United now what they have to do and Saturday's nerve-settling win against Wolves means victory in two of their final three games will be enough, if Liverpool win all of their three matches, and Fernandes is focusing on that equation rather than concerning himself with the form of Jurgen Klopp's side.

Amad's loan conversation
Manchester United striker Amad says Erik ten Hag facilitated his loan move to Sunderland so he could “get more confidence” and return to Old Trafford “more ready”.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a fruitful spell at the Championship club this season, scoring 14 times so far including in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Luton in the first leg of the play-off semi-final.

Amad has been named as the Black Cats Young Player of the Year and has been invited by United to next month’s FA Cup final against Manchester City. He is aiming to get there a few days earlier with Sunderland for the play-off final in their hunt for Premier League promotion.
The forward has now revealed what Erik ten Hag told him ahead of his loan spell to the Stadium Of Light outfit. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “I spoke to him before I came here. He said it would be a good experience for me to play more games, to get more confidence and to come back to Manchester more ready.”
