George Boateng has urged Manchester Untied to play a
severely weakened team on the final day of the season.
Having wrapped up the title against Arsenal on Saturday,
United now have no domestic concerns with which to occupy
themselves ahead of the Champions League final against
Barcelona.
Hull are in a far from as luxurious position despite their 1-1
draw with Bolton but now know that their safety lies in their own
hands.
A win over United would guarantee a second year in The Premier
League for Phil Brown’s side, while a draw would suffice should
Newcastle fail to beat Aston Villa.
"I'd like to think all the pressure is on Newcastle," said
Boateng. "They have the tougher game. They couldn't beat Fulham at
home, and going to Villa Park is harder than that. Aston Villa want
to finish their season on a high. They are playing a team that is
struggling and the game is sold out, so I would expect Villa to do
their duty.
"I'm quite confident that if we can get a point, we'll be okay
because I don't see Newcastle winning at Villa Park.
"I hope United's minds will be on Rome. Four days later they
have a massive Champions League Final so I hope their kitman is on the
teamsheet.
"But ultimately it's about us. We proved against Bolton that our
belief is back and the way we've played over the whole season, we
deserve to be in the Premier League.
"It's an advantage for us. No, can I rephrase that? It's a
massive plus that the title's over and done with now. But is the
pressure ever off Manchester United? People are playing for their
places in the Champions League final so it will still be a tough
one. There will be no favours."
