Skipper Patrice Evra insists losing the Premier League title will not spell the end of the Manchester United empire.
Manchester City are on the brink of winning their first top-flight crown since 1968 - victory over QPR at the Etihad next week will confirm it.
But Evra has warned their local rivals that City's first title in 44 years does not mean the end of an era at Old Trafford.
"I know that if we don't win the league then a lot of people will say this is the end of the empire and ask how we will survive," said the France full-back.
"But there is a lot of talent at this club.
"We've had to deal with a lot through injuries and losing experienced players last summer and it's never easy to find a solution immediately."
Midfielder Michael Carrick believes QPR might just cause a huge upset.
"You can't hide from it," he said. "We kept believing and we still believe anything can happen. It's not over.
"We can still hope. We still have to get a win at Sunderland, which is not a given. Then all we can do is hope QPR do what they've got to do and help us out.
"We're still in it and still have a fighting chance.
