Antonio Valencia insists Manchester United have not given up hope of title success just yet.

Manchester United midfielder Antonio Valencia has claimed that the whole squad are not giving up hope on the Premier League title just yet.

United have to beat Sunderland and hope that Manchester City slip up at home to the relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers.

City have won 17 of their 18 league matches at the Etihad Stadium so far this season, but the Ecuador international insists that he retains hope.

He told The Sun: "We cannot lose all hope. We must fight until the very last moment. I know City are favourites but QPR are fighting for their own salvation and to avoid relegation, so that is a little advantage for us.

"The last day will be emotional and intense. A little help from the Londoners will be magnificent. If QPR obtain any sort of positive result at City the whole United squad will become Rangers fans.

"If City win on Sunday I shall congratulate our rivals. But let's hold on, there are still 90 minutes of the season to go."

Valencia has been in fine form in the second half of the season and is expected to be involved against Sunderland today.
