Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says he is hoping �something stupid� happens to Manchester City to gift his team the Premier League title. City host QPR on Sunday, needing to match or better United�s result against Sunderland to win the Premier League. �We can only do our best and try to win the match and hope something stupid happens with City,� said Ferguson. �It�s fantastic for the neutral, fantastic for the media, but agony for both clubs.� Ferguson added: �The attitude will be that City have to win but it�s an enormous challenge for them too. �The disappointment of losing the game would be unbelievable. It�s untold what effect it could have on them.� Ferguson also criticised the manner of how current QPR manager Mark Hughes left Manchester City halfway through the 2009-10 season. Hughes played for United under Ferguson, who said: �The way he [Hughes] was sacked was terrible. That was the general opinion by everyone. I think his wife knew before him�.
