Ander Herrera: Manchester United won't make it easy for Leicester

Ander Herrera says Manchester United will do all they can to stop Leicester City securing the title at Old Trafford.

Leicester are now seven points clear of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur with three games remaining, which means Claudio Ranieri's men will be confirmed as champions if they beat United on Sunday.

United midfielder Herrera said he hopes to see Leicester crowned champions but, with Louis van Gaal's men still in the hunt for a top-four finish, they have no intention of making it easy for them this weekend.

Herrera told Sky Sports: "First of all, I have to say we think about Man United. We are still in the race. We have to be in the top four. It is very important for us.

"It's true that we are playing against Leicester. They are a very good side and they are playing fantastic, but we don't want them to win the title at Old Trafford. They deserve to win the league but I hope that they can do it at home."

Fifth-placed United are currently five points behind both Manchester City and Arsenal with a game in hand, with City and Arsenal due to meet at the Etihad Stadium on May 8.
