Manchester United<\/a> captain Nemanja Vidic<\/a> has warned his team-mates not to lose focus and be fooled into believing that the title race is over.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils beat Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday to move six points clear at the top of the table with two games to go, needing only a draw from either one of their last two league games to wrap up the title.<\/p>\n

Now the Serbia international has called on his team to beat Blackburn Rovers at the weekend to secure a record 19th league triumph for the club.<\/p>\n

“Mathematically it’s not certain but I think it’s a big advantage,” Vidic said, according to the Daily Mail<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Six points with two games left. Obviously, we have to focus on the next game against Blackburn already to win the title. We don\u2019t want to come to the last game and to be nervous. We have a big advantage and we are nearly there.<\/p>\n

“It’s important, first of all, to win the title. As well, to be captain of Manchester United is a big honour but, to lift the trophy, is even bigger. I\u2019m just hoping we\u2019ll play properly next game and we can celebrate at Blackburn.”<\/p>\n

The centre-back also praised manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who rested several players in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final second leg against Schalke to keep them fresh for the Chelsea clash.<\/p>\n

Vidic said: “I think it was a great decision by the manager, hopefully when you\u2019re winning games, the decisions are good but we are lucky this time that the decision was right.”<\/p>\n
