Paul Scholes gives verdict on whether Manchester United are in title race

Former midfielder Paul Scholes believes that Manchester United are now in the Premier League title race following their 2-1 derby day triumph over Manchester City at Old Trafford on Saturday.

United, who have won each of their last nine matches in all competitions, came from behind to record a fifth successive league win, lifting them up to third in the table. Jack Grealish opened the scoring for the visitors on the hour mark, but United turned it around inside the final quarter of an hour, courtesy of goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

Erik ten Hag's side are also now just a point behind City in the table. They were eight points behind them after they were thrashed 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium back in October.
