Sol Bamba is hoping that United can keep up the recent run of results that has seen seven wins from 12 in the league in 2015 in order to build for next season.

Sol has made nine appearances since his January loan move and has said that he is currently living the dream and hopes that it continues.

“At the moment the mood is good,” said Sol. “When you have a result on your side it is always good. We want to finish strong so we can be ready for next season.

“There is a great togetherness here with all the lads. Whether it is on the training pitch or a match we hate to get beat. That’s really good and I thought that we showed that last weekend against Wigan.

“We want to keep going like that until the end of the season.

“I don’t think my start here could have been much better. A lot depends on results and results have been good. Steve Thomson has helped me a lot as well as I know him from when I was at Leicester.

“Honestly I’m living the dream at the minute so long may that continue.”

The United defender has spoken of the importance of a strong finish with the 2014/15 season now having 10 games remaining.

“We just want to win games,” added Bamba. “I don’t think any football player likes to lose games.

“So we just want to win and do well for the club. This is a massive club and we can’t let it down.

“It’s about winning games and being ready for next season. It doesn’t matter what happens and who stays or goes, it is important to finish strong and be in a good mindset for the start of next season.

“You look back at the last 10 or 15 games to see what you have done and you want to continue in that dynamic.

“It’s good to have the summer with your family and have a rest but then when you come back you are ready to go.”

The on-loan Palermo man has suggested that a stay at Elland Road could be longer than the end of the season.

“I really hope that I’m going to stay,” said the defender. “We are going to work really hard, me and the club, to find something.

“I enjoy it here, the lads, the city and everything has been good. Hopefully we’ll sort something for me to stay.

“I can’t say too much at the moment or look too far ahead because I’m contracted to Palermo for two years so it depends on them.

“But the feeling I’ve got at the minute, and I’ve been speaking with people at the club, is that I don’t think they will make it difficult for me. Hopefully we’ll sort it out.

“I’m 30 now and at this stage of my career I want to settle. This is a big club so if I can stay here for another two or three years it will be great.”

Sol’s next outing for United is likely to be on Saturday (3pm) against Nottingham Forest, in what is set to be the biggest crowd Elland Road has seen all season.

“The support is unbelievable,” stated Sol. “I’ve never known that before.

“The crowd is the reason we have to get a result. When you have support like that you want to win for them.

“We’ve got to do the job.

“I think that it is going to be a great game and hopefully we’ll come up with a result. I’m looking forward to it.”
