Aleksandar Mitrovic is returning to Old Trafford after an FA Cup meltdown there in March, and Fulham manager Marco Silva is adamant that he has nothing to prove.
After grabbing referee Chris Kavanagh during Fulham's FA Cup quarterfinal loss to Manchester United, Mitrovic received an eight-game suspension.
The Serbian striker, who has now scored three goals in two games since serving his ban again, has 15 goals overall for the season. His finest Premier League season comes to an end on Sunday at Old Trafford.
Mitrovic won't be particularly enraged against United, Silva responded when asked. Mitro doesn't require this kind of reward.
In my opinion, he demonstrated in 25 minutes against Southampton and last week against Palace that it makes no difference whether team he plays against.
He doesn't need to play against specific types of teams or in specific circumstances to be more motivated since he is Mitro.
No matter what happens at United, Fulham will finish the season in 10th place, marking their first top-half Premier League finish since placing ninth in 2012. However, the Cottagers have a strong motivation to close the campaign on a bright note.
If the team wins, it will break its previous Premier League points record; if it draws, it would tie Roy Hodgson's 53-point total from the previous season.
Without a doubt, this season has been fantastic for us, according to Silva.
The position we'll be in when we're done, and how we get there. how we work to continually improve both as a person and as a team. It's been excellent.Before the current season even began, we were aware that it would be essential for this club to stay in the Premier League.
Credit to the guys for having the correct attitude; they are consistently willing to work and develop.They adopted our concept and beliefs, as well as our approach to playing football.
By defeating Chelsea 4-1 on Thursday, United ensured a top-four position and participation in the Champions League the following season.
