Sunderland striker Fraizer Campbell admits he still has emotional ties to former club Manchester United.

He wanted to be an Old Trafford hero but knows he will become a villain in the eyes of the United faithful if Steve Bruce's Black Cats do the business on Wearside.

Campbell, 22, said: "My job now is as a Sunderland player and I will try the best I can. There is no way I am going to miss the target on purpose, but if I score it will be a weird sensation.

"It could stop them winning the title. That's what I call pressure. If we stop United getting the title I won't be going out in Manchester for a while. But my aim is to finish 10th.

"I was at United a long time and got used to calling myself a United player. But you have to be sensible about your own career and just think about the future. I could have sat around and been a bit-part player but I wanted to go make a name for myself.

"That was the key factor. I was 21 when I left United and felt I was too old to be sat on the bench. I enjoyed my time there though.

"If I do score the winning goal I will probably walk back to the half-way line and try to pretend it never happened.

"I don't think I will celebrate."
