Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira believes Manchester United have what it takes to be in contention to win the Premier League title this season.
Vieira has made the admission ahead of his side welcoming the Reds to Selhurst Park on Wednesday evening. United will make the long trip south knowing that a win will lift them up to second in the table, moving them to within six points of current table-toppers Arsenal in the process.
United stretched their winning run in all competitions to nine matches on Saturday with a 2-1 triumph over Manchester City, moving themselves to within a point of their cross-city rivals. The Reds' ultimate ambition this season is to finish inside the top-four and secure Champions League qualification for next season, meaning talk of being in the title race is an added bonus.
