Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal wants his side to earn a good result away at Hull City on Sunday to boost their away record, which he feels has been less than perfect this season.
The Red Devils are all but certain to finish fourth in the Premier League this season, meaning little is riding on the result. Hull however need to win to give themselves any chance of remaining in the English top flight.
But with Manchester United having only won six of their 18 league games away from home, Van Gaal feels there is sufficient motivation for his players to perform.
"It’s the same approach as ever. We need to defend our image as Manchester United and we are ending in fourth position, so we have to give our utmost best", he told MUTV.
"We haven’t won so many matches away so it’s very difficult to beat English Premier League clubs away", the Dutchman continued.

"We shall do our utmost best. We have to do it for the honesty of the league."
Hull lost the reverse fixture this season at Old Trafford in November, going down to a 3-0 defeat to Van Gaal's side.
On that day goals from Chris Smalling, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie put the Tigers to the sword.
