Christopher Samba is adamant that he can shackle Robin van Persie ahead of Queens Park Rangers' Premier League clash with Manchester United on Saturday.

The 28-year-old made a return to the Premier League in January as QPR stumped up a reported £12.5million to sign him from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala, where he had played for less than a year after leaving Blackburn Rovers in February 2012.
He has made just two appearances for bottom-of-the-table QPR since his arrival, but the towering centre-back is confident he will be able to subdue the threat posed by the Premier League's leading goalscorer and reigning player of the year - Robin van Persie.
"Van Persie is an excellent player but I've been working on my fitness and I'm really much fitter than I was for the last game at Swansea, so it will be more difficult to beat me," Samba told The Sun.
"He is on fire but I am positive I can have a good game against him, although it is not only him we have to stop because United have a lot of top players.
"They will win the Premier League this year but they are coming to QPR and we need the points more.
"When you play against top teams, you need to be on top of your game. We have everyone pointing in the same direction and we need to put that into practice out on the pitch."
