Jesse Lingard: 'Manchester United can spoil Manchester City's party'

Manchester United attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard insists that his side can spoil Manchester City's party this weekend.

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard is confident that his side can prevent Manchester City from winning the Premier League this weekend.

The two Manchester teams will clash at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, with the hosts needing three points to wrap up the league title.

Meanwhile, United are still looking to finish second in the table, and Lingard believes that they should focus on their own ambitions ahead of the derby.

"We have played there before and performed and did well, so I don't see why we can't do it again," Lingard told Sky Sports News.

"The lads' heads have to be right and we have to 100% focused on our job and get the three points because that's what we are playing for. You have to see it as just a game because if you let other things come into play it might affect your performance, so you have to go into it like any other game.

"You have the lads beside you giving 100% and as long as we perform on the day we can get the three points."

City have not beaten United at the Etihad Stadium since November 2014.
