Queens Park Rangers defender Christopher Samba has revealed that he feels fitter ahead of his side's clash with Manchester United on Saturday.
Samba struggled as QPR fell to a 4-1 defeat to Swansea City two weeks ago, but the former Blackburn Rovers centre-back has insisted that he is feeling confident ahead of facing United striker Robin van Persie.
The 28-year-old told The Sun: "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.
"He is on fire but I am positive that 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."
The Congo international joined Queens Park Rangers during the January transfer window for a fee in the region of £12.5m.
