A victory over minnows Maritimo – beaten 1-0 at Bordeaux last night – will secure a place in the Round of 32 for United, who still lead Group D.
Alan Pardew: “We are going to kick ourselves if we don’t beat Maritimo at home, with all due respect to them.
“We have got ourselves in a great position, and are looking to just wrap the league up, perhaps with that win there, which is our next game.
“Our attention now turns to West Ham, and it did actually before the end of the game. I took Willo (Mike Williamson) off to protect him for Sunday, so now the focus is on West Ham.”
