OWEN Hargreaves is adamant United won't let their Stamford Bridge frustration wreck their double bid as the Reds face a five-day League and European crunch.

United were seething on Saturday as they left London blaming referee Alan Wiley and assistant Shaun Proctor-Green for the 2-1 defeat against Chelsea that takes the Premier League title race down to the last two matches.

But Hargreaves insists the torment is now out of United's system and the Reds are ready to hit back against Barcelona and West Ham.

"We have a big game against Barcelona and we can't let the Chelsea match affect us," the 26-year-old England player told M.E.N. Sport.

"We are still in control of our destiny. That is the best position to be in.

"The frustration was massive after the game but on Saturday night, we had to draw a line under it. It has gone now. No matter how big the frustration was at the end of the game it is over and we had to let it go.

"We still go into the Barca game confident."

Hargreaves, though, still believes the pivotal moment in the Reds defeat was when Chelsea were awarded an 86th-minute penalty for handball against Michael Carrick.

"You do have to say that Chelsea played well. In the first half they played well and we struggled to deal with Drogba throughout the game," Owen admitted.

"We tried to make adjustments and we were fortunate that Carvalho gifted us a goal.

"You have 22 players on the pitch but they did not decide the game.

Unacceptable

"Some of the best in the country but not one of them decided it! It was decided by a linesman and I find it unacceptable.

"We had two clear penalties turned down - one where Ballack bear- hugged Ronaldo and one where Michael Carrick was fouled.

"Yet they get a penalty for handball and how anybody could see that I don't know. I was on the pitch and closer than the linesman and I can't see it.

"I don't understand it to be honest and I am not sure it is fair.

"It only takes one moment like that and a season can be ruined. But it won't ruin ours."

Now United's focus is trained on the 90-minute semi-final shoot-out with Barcelona.

"The Old Trafford game against Barcelona will be different to the Nou Camp. We went over there with a game plan that we executed pretty well," said Hargreaves.

"We didn't keep the ball and we didn't create many chances. But in front of our own fans I fancy us to go through."

The title race will now go to the final day on May 11. United play West Ham this Saturday at Old Trafford while Chelsea travel to Newcastle.

If Avram Grant's side lose at St James' Park and the Reds beat the Hammers it won't officially be won even though United's vastly superior goal difference would effectively be the clincher no matter what happened on the last day.

Despite the Reds shipping seven title points in recent weeks, Hargreaves believes United's final two games should see them retain the Premier League trophy.

"We have two games in the Premiership to win the championship and you couldn't ask for more than that," he added. "If you'd said you can have two games at the end of the season to win the league we would have taken that."
