West Brom boss Tony Pulis tells squad: 'Go and enjoy yourselves'
Friday 4 March 2016 17:06, UK
West Brom manager Tony Pulis has urged his players to got out and enjoy themselves against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
Louis van Gaal's side may have won their last four games but the Baggies have also been buoyed by a run of just two defeats in 10 and are unbeaten at home since before Christmas.
"We will go out there and do our best, that's what we've done in all the games," Pulis said ahead of the Super Sunday Sky Live match.
"They're a good side, they've got some good players. We know it will be a tough game, they've had a great result again on Wednesday night so they'll come full of confidence.
"It's just making sure the players enjoy the challenge. The big thing is to enjoy it. The last three league games, we've won at Everton, we've beaten Crystal Palace and then we've had a good draw at Leicester.

Pulis also admits Chris Brunt's knee ligament injury has come at an horrific time after it was confirmed the Northern Irishman would miss the rest of the season and Euro 2016.
"At his age and the fact Northern Ireland have got there for the first time in a long time, I think Chris was really looking forward to it along with Gareth McAuley and Jonny Evans," Pulis said.
"It's so, so unfortunate for the lad, so, so disappointing. It's important he focuses on getting himself fully prepared and ready to go for next season.
"Brunty will need a couple of days to get over it. You have to get over these things and unfortunately it's happened at a terrible time for the kid in lots of respects. It's happened and you have to be man enough to stand up and get on with it."
Brunt will join an injury list that includes James Morrison, Callum McManaman and Evans ahead of the weekend game.
