Ashley Young is hopeful that Queens Park Rangers can cause an upset against Manchester City in order to help Manchester United lift the Premier League trophy.

Manchester United winger Ashley Young is keeping his fingers crossed for Queens Park Rangers to get a result against Manchester City on Sunday.

The Premier League title race has gone right down to the wire, with United and arch rivals City on equal points in the table but a superior eight-goal difference has given Roberto Mancini's side the advantage as they prepare to take on QPR at the Etihad Stadium.

"It's disappointing we didn't score more goals as it looked like we could've done but we've still got to have faith QPR can do us a favour," Young told The Telegraph.

"It comes down to the last day now and of course it will be disappointing, especially if it goes down to goal difference, and we lose it. I don't want to think of any negativity, we've got to think positively. Fingers crossed, QPR will do us a favour and we will win the title.

"I'm sure Mark Hughes doesn't want to go there and lose as they have to get a point for safety. So I'm sure he'll set his side out in the week to go there and do the best they can and hopefully they'll do that for us. Maybe Rio [Ferdinand] can speak to his brother [Anton, about the game] but we'll just have to wait and see."

United complete their season with an away fixture to Sunderland next weekend.
