Sunderland defender John O’Shea warned his former club Manchester United that they face a tough mission in their final match of the season at Stadium of Light on Sunday.

Sunderland go into the game with nothing much to play for while the Red  Devils must win and hope bitter rivals Manchester City do not beat Queens Park Rangers at Etihad Stadium if they want  to retain their title.

O’Shea was surprised to see United have not carried the Premier League trophy already having had an eight-point advantage over City in recent weeks.

“You would have expected, with all their experience, they would manage to keep their advantage so close to the end of the season,” he told The Guardian.

“Believe me; the two times City has played against us this season, they knew it wasn’t an easy game.

“We have taken four points off them, and it should have been six if we think about the game at their place – a 3-3 draw in which Sunderland led 3-1.”

Despite the Black Cats having little to play for, O’Shea insisted his side will continue to play their best against United.

“First and foremost, you want to do well for yourself and your team, it will be a huge game for United, depending on how City do, but we want to finish with a win for our fans and we want to try to get in the top 10,” he said.
