Sir Alex Ferguson has said that he sees no reason why Manchester United cannot win the Premiership this season after the 3-1 win over Manchester City.
The Old Trafford manager hailed the team spirit and finishing which puts the Red Devils nine points clear of Chelsea.
"We are playing well, our form is terrific, and I'm pleased," Ferguson told sky sports
"There is plenty for us to navigate but hopefully we have the ability. I don't see why we can't do it."
"We had fantastic opportunities but at other times we had to fight and scrap. City are such a big team and you have to deal with that. They are difficult to play against.
"Van der Sar had two great saves to make and we had to earn the right to win."
Ferguson conceded his players "legs were going a little bit" after City scored, but added: "We showed great determination when it really mattered and finished the game off."
Chelsea play Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and Ferguson will be a Gunners fan for the day.
He said: "We can relax and watch the game and support the Gunners.
"It will be a tight game, a hard game between two great sides. Hopefully we will be in a better position after the match."
