Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick does not believe that tonight's derby at Manchester City will decide the destiny of the Premier League title.
Sir Alex Ferguson has labelled the encounter between City and United at the Etihad Stadium as such, claiming it is the most important derby he has been involved in during his 26 years at Old Trafford.
However, Carrick said: "Whatever happens, the title race won't be over at the final whistle.
"Obviously we're the two main contenders and this is going to be a big three points, but there will still be two games left to play and the way the last couple of weeks have gone, I don't think you can look at the derby as a decider.
"Who knows what might still happen? We can only look at this game as an opportunity to win three points.
"Don't get me wrong, it would be a massive step towards the title if we win, but it won't hand us the trophy."
