Louis van Gaal wants to right the wrongs of December defeat

"It's always difficult to fight against a team that fights to maintain their position in the Premier League from relegation."

Manchester United's primary aim this weekend is to stay in the hunt for a top-four place in the Barclays Premier League - but Louis van Gaal insists revenge is also on the menu.

United are four points adrift of neighbours Manchester City, who occupy the final Champions League place, but have played one game fewer.
