Patrice Evra backs Manchester United to produce title shock

United, second on goal difference, require either City to slip up at home to QPR or an improbable landslide win over Sunderland to edge back in front.

 "Maybe people will say I'm crazy, but I still believe," said Evra.
"I know destiny is not in our hands. If we want to keep believing in the miracle, we have to beat Sunderland."

Manchester City have collected 52 from a possible 54 points at Etihad Stadium this season, while QPR have lost 13 times on the road this season - more than any other side in the top flight. 

But, after United's 2-0 win over Swansea on Sunday, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson told fans at Old Trafford this weekend could mark "the biggest celebration of our lives".

He also suggested relegation-threatened Rangers, managed by former Manchester City boss Mark Hughes, would not lack motivation to ruin the leaders' party plans.

Evra believes the dynamics of the season's final day - with all matches kicking off at 15:00 BST on Sunday - will allow Manchester United to heap extra pressure on their rivals.

"If we score first, maybe the City fans in the stadium will start to be nervous," he added.
"When you are nervous, you rush things and you don't do the things you want to do. That's why I still believe, but we must make sure we are ready against Sunderland."continue reading
