It's been a season to forget for Manchester United, but former club hero Lee Sharpe thinks they could still salvage something from the rest of the campaign.
Ruben Amorim's team currently looks set for their worst-ever Premier League finish, and while they remain in the Europa League, there hasn't been much room for optimism around Old Trafford.
However, speaking exclusively to DAZN News, thanks to Texas Poker, the former winger hopes just getting some better performances may hold United in good stead ahead of a big summer.
"I think maybe a decent Europa Cup run and get themselves top nine or ten in the league," Sharpe said when asked what would present success for his former club.
"I think success would be to see some sort of consistency, some sort of fluidity in the way they're playing, some sort of attractive football. At the moment, they just seem to give the ball away cheaply.
"Most teams they're playing look better than them at the moment. I think they were awesome against Arsenal and Liverpool, but apart from those two games, they've been pretty average both defensively and going forward.
"They don't look like they're going to score, and teams look like they could score quite easily against them at times. It's last-ditch efforts and keep good saves. I think they're sort of hanging on by a string at the moment.
"If they can get a bit of consistency, a bit of shape and a bit of regularity to the line-up and put a bit of a run together, I think they could get three or four good results with good performances."

One of the biggest disappointments from the season has been the decline of Marcus Rashford's relationship with the club, and the forward looks set to leave the club by the summer - which Sharpe concedes is a big blow for all concerned.
He added: "It's a shame because we know how good Marcus Rashford can be.
"I've been watching clips since he's not been in the team when he was on fire a couple of seasons ago, and his pace, his technique, his footwork, his goal scoring, his ability to run past players - he's absolutely unplayable. And we've not seen him for nearly two years.
"It's such a shame that he's now having, I'm not sure it's disciplinary problems, but work ethic problems in training. It's just a shame that that's what it's going to come down to, that sees him leave the club.
"I think he's a lover of Man United, he's a big Man United fan. It's just a shame that the club and he can't get their heads together and sort it out, and he can't sort out what's between his ears and get back to his best."
Manchester United are in action on Thursday as they take on Steaua Bucurest in the Europa League before hosting Crystal Palace in league action this weekend.
