Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea says his side do not know how to “park the bus” and will go for a win in Monday night’s crunch clash with bitter rivals Manchester City.

United enjoy a three-point lead over City at the top of the Premier League with just three matches to play, but know a repeat of October’s 6-1 Old Trafford humiliation at the Etihad Stadium will see their advantage wiped out.

A draw would be enough to keep Sir Alex Ferguson’s men in control, but De Gea insists the idea of playing for a share of the spoils is not even in their minds.

“We won't park the bus or try to get a point,” he told Goal.com. “We don't know how to do it and that would mean giving them the advantage on the match.

“We are approaching this derby as a final because it really is, but we have more chances than them. They need the victory and that's an extra pressure they could resent on the pitch.

“I don't expect a crazy match but rather a tactical one. This is not a knockout tie but a match in which a goal can give you the title, so we have to remain calm.

“This is the match of the season and we are planning up to the most minimal detail. We cannot fail.”
