Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Manchester United must treat every game as "must-win" as to put pressure on leaders Chelsea. United had fallen eight points adrift of Carlo Ancelotti's men prior to kick-off against Everton at Old Trafford on Saturday night and for half an hour they looked like the gap would prove difficult to close. Darren Fletcher's brilliant volley ended such fears and with Michael Carrick and Antonio Valencia also finding the net after half-time, the Red Devils were able to celebrate their biggest win since August. "We have to look at all the games as must-win now," said Ferguson. "We need to get on a run and be somewhere near the top of the league by New Year's Day. Then, in the second half of the season we can have a real go and give ourselves a chance." With their place in the Champions League knock-out phase secure already, Ferguson can make plenty of changes for Wednesday's encounter with Besiktas and keep his preferred team fresh for the long trip to Portsmouth on Saturday.
