Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes tips Manchester United to be crowned this year's Premier League champions.

Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes has tipped Manchester United to win this year's Premier League title.

Hughes takes his side to Old Trafford on Sunday with the Red Devils five points clear at the top of the table.

Despite the strength of second-placed Manchester City, the former United striker believes that Sir Alex Ferguson's men have what it takes to clinch the championship.

"I think at this stage of the season there is a little bit of a sense of inevitability," Hughes told reporters. "United have been in this situation so many times before, City haven't and I think that can be key in this situation.

"You sense that United are looking at fixtures, taking each game on its merits and just ticking off games they have to play from now until the end of the season.

"You would be very surprised if they lost it from the position they find themselves in now."

Rangers currently sit above the relegation zone on goal difference in 17th place.
