Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini suggests the derby clash against Manchester City will have a huge baring on the Red Devils' top four hopes.

United have managed to put themselves in the driver's seat to secure a Champions League place due to their recent run of five consecutive Premier League victories but with seven games still left to go, the job is not done yet.

In-form Fellaini is keen on stressing this fact and has stated that the result of the Manchester derby will have a huge say in his side's chances of returning to Europe's elite.

Fellaini told the Manchester Evening News: "It's a massive game. It's the derby, so it will be intense for the players and the supporters.

"We want to play in the Champions League next season so we have to win in front of our supporters. We have to do everything to win."
