Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand in agreement on Man Utd's title chances after derby win

Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand both refused to get carried away with Manchester United's Premier League title prospects.

The Red Devils have moved within six points of leaders Arsenal after beating local rivals Manchester City 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon. The result was controversial due to Marcus Rashford being in an offside position during the build-up Bruno Fernandes ' equaliser. Rashford scored United's winner, while Jack Grealish opened the scoring.

United can move level on points with Arsenal if Mikel Arteta's side lose at rivals Tottenham on Sunday and Erik ten Hag's hopefuls win their next two Premier League games against Crystal Palace and the Gunners. Both of those United fixtures are on the road.
