Ander Herrera does not want Leicester to win the Premier League title at Old Trafford

Ander Herrera says Manchester United are determined to delay Leicester's Premier League title party to keep their own top four dreams alive.

Claudio Ranieri's side can secure their first ever Premier League crown with a victory at Old Trafford as part of Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD.

After a remarkable season the Foxes now require just one win from their final three fixtures to make that dream become a reality after opening up a seven-point lead over closest challengers Tottenham, who could only muster a draw against West Brom on Monday Night Football.

However, Manchester United still harbour hopes of joining Leicester in playing Champions League football next season and currently sit five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal with a game in hand.

And, speaking at a Manchester United Foundation event, Herrera said he and his team-mates were in no mood to watch Leicester celebrate a title win on their home patch.

"First of all I have to say that we think about Manchester United, we are still in the race, we have to be in the top four it's very important for us," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"After that it is true that we are playing against Leicester, a very good side who are playing fantastic. But we don't want them to win the title at Old Trafford - I think they deserve to win the league but I hope they can do it at home.

"We are Manchester United and we have to win because we have to be in the Champions League next season.

"Leicester can win the league at Old Trafford but it is not our business. Our business is Manchester United, we have to fight until the end for the top four and that's what we are going to do.

"After that if Leicester wants to win the league at home they will have to play very good because I think we are in a good moment."
