A top-four finish will ensure a place in Europe’s elite club competition but with Manchester United trailing Leicester only on goal difference Rodgers said it was no time to relax.

“That was going to be a monumental challenge for us because of the competition, the clubs and budgets that are ahead of us.
“But together, we’ve been able to do that, and we’ve done it as a collective. Now they’ve achieved that goal, we’ve got two more games to go, and let’s see if we can go and create some more history.”
