Phil Neville believes that Manchester United will be crowned Champions this season, with the former Red Devil claiming they will take the honours before they face cross-town rivals Manchester City on April 30.

Ferguson often takes the attitude that it's the little games that matter in the title race, and while United have in the past dropped big games against the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal in their race for titles, the club have won against the smaller sides and walked away Champions on many occasions.

And after stealing the lead in the table from Manchester City, the club are now in strong contention to be more than a game ahead of them when the sides meet on April 30, and Neville believes the title could already be in their hands.

"It's not the [derby] games that are going to win you the title, it's the games against the likes of Blackburn, Swansea and Sunderland," he told the BBC.
