Patrick Vieira wants his Crystal Palace players to end their season on a high by beating Manchester United on the final day of the season at Selhurst Park.
Patrick Vieira said: “It’s been a really, really challenging season for them. But it’s never easy to play United. When you look at the quality that they have in the squad, we need a big performance to get something from the game. I think it’s good for us to play the last game at home against one of the best teams in this country in Manchester United who they represent so much in the Premier League. We will want to give a really good performance. I think our fans deserve that and this is what we will try to do.”
Picking up his players and motivating them for Sunday following the dramatic defeat at Everton will be a difficult task for Vieira and his coaching staff. The loss at Goodison Park was the first time under Vieira’s management that Palace had lost a game after leading by two goals.
Patrick Vieira added: “We are going to concentrate on ourselves and recover from the game today and find the right words to lift the players to allow ourselves to compete against United.”
