Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz has told Manchester United they won't get any favours this weekend.

"We have nothing against Manchester United winning the league, but we are in need of points to get closer into Europe," he declared.

"That's our ambition, but there's few games left, so for me this game against United is like a cup final.

"If we want to keep the pressure on Aston Villa, Portsmouth and Everton, we need to get a result."
