The odds of Manchester United winning the Barclays Premier League this weekend may be slim, but Reds stand-in skipper Patrice Evra says he's still confident of getting his hands on the trophy.
United and Manchester City head into Sunday's final round of fixtures level on points, but City's vastly superior goal difference - and a home game against relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers - means the Blues are heavy favourites to clinch a first league title in 44 years.
Despite that, Evra insists he won't give up hope as the Reds prepare to travel to Sunderland to face Martin O'Neill's side at the Stadium of Light.
"At the beginning of the week, the team was really down," Evra admitted. "And we were really down before the game against Swansea last weekend because we expected a little miracle from Newcastle [last Sunday when City travelled to St James' Park]. But it didn't happen.
"Now we just believe. We're level on points going into the final day.
"Maybe people will say I'm crazy or that I'm only saying this because I'm a Manchester United player, but I still believe we can win this title. I know the destiny of the title is not in our hands, but we will just make sure we start the game well against Sunderland.
"It's not an easy place to go but I think we will win in front of all their fans. We have no choice but to believe. If we want to keep believing in the miracle we have to beat Sunderland."
