""We talk about winning trophies because we are positioned to do so, and we have been positioned to do so for a while," Ramsay said. "It's an ambitious group. I'm an ambitious coach. "This is a situation that we have to try and take advantage of as a club. It's not a situation when you consider where we are in the table and the Open Cup you are in every year.""
""It's really difficult to come through a situation like this and we have done a really good job getting ourselves in this position. We have to make sure that we treat every game between now and the end of the season as a cup final, and we will see where that takes us. We are really motivated to take that spot above us now.""
Minnesota United enter their final six MLS fixtures needing to treat each match like a cup final as they push for the Western Conference summit. A recent 3-1 victory over Real Salt Lake put the club within three points of leaders San Diego FC, who have already secured a playoff place. A win against Portland this weekend would confirm Minnesota's postseason berth. The squad holds belief and ambition to compete for trophies and aims to capitalize on favourable remaining fixtures. Portland currently sit sixth and remain engaged in their own playoff battle after holding San Diego to a draw.
