Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea says that Champions League qualification is paramount ahead of Saturday's Premier League match against Aston Villa.
United missed out on a place in any European competition due to a disappointing campaign last season but a 2-1 victory over rivals Liverpool last time out hugely enhanced their hopes of a top-four finish in 2014-15.
Louis van Gaal's team lie fourth - five points above Liverpool - with eight games to play and Spain international De Gea believes that missing out on a return to the elite is not an option that United can entertain.
