Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is refusing to concede defeat in the title race as Nani's goal at Sunderland ensured the defining say will be had on the final day of the season.

Chelsea strengthened their grip on Premier League silverware earlier on Sunday with a comfortable win at Liverpool, before United again reduced the gap at the summit to just a solitary point with a victory at Sunderland.
Ferguson's side will host Stoke next weekend trailing the Blues by a point and needing them to drop points at home to Wigan.
And while their fate is not in their own hands, Ferguson has not given up.
"All we can do is win our game next week," he told Sky Sports 1.
"Obviously I wouldn't say it's a sealed result against Wigan by any shadow of a doubt.
"They're a good team, they'll have a go and you just never know. It's a crazy game.
"Maybe we are clutching at straws a little bit. It is important for us to win in front of our home fans and play the right way.
"It would be an incredible achievement for us. At the least we have stretched it (the title race) and kept the nerves going."
Ferguson was slightly disappointed with his side's display at the Stadium of Light as United missed a number of chances, most notably Dimitar Berbatov, to win by a more convincing margin.
"One-nil is not a healthy score away from home," the Scot added.
"It was perhaps due to careless finishing. It looked that way. There were a lot of great chances. But we got there, that is important."
