He got off the mark in August against champions Leicester to help United to the Community Shield - the 31st title of his career.

And he reckons the club could still be in for a trophy haul Fergie would be proud of come the end of May.

He said: "We want to go through the Europa League and we have a good game at home against St Etienne.

"From five trophies this season we have won one and we are still in four.

"I think from the teams in front, only one will become champions.

"The rest will not get a trophy, but we have one and we can get our second one.

"And we are still in the Europa League and FA Cup, so if we don't become champions in the Premier

League at least we can try and win two or three trophies."

United's 2-0 win over Watford meant that United cut the gap on second spot to just TWO points.

And although a title tilt would appear out of their reach, Ibra reckons the prospect of reeling in Prem rivals should keep fire in their belly.

He added: "We know where we are and that we have been stuck in the same position for many months.

"We need to keep winning to climb in the table and hope the others lose points and we can go past them."
