Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand has said that his side are capable of beating Manchester United this weekend.

Ferdinand, who was a part of the West Ham United team that beat the Red Devils at Old Trafford to survive relegation at the end of the 2006-07 season, insists that games like that should give the Hoops hope.

"Beating them is one of the highlights of my career," he said.

"Results like that show it can be done. I'd take a point right now, but as long as we keep it tight at the back there's no reason we can't unlock them at the other end."

Mark Hughes's side are currently outside the relegation places on goal difference alone.
