United Could Go 18 Points Clear At The Top, As City Prepare For Their Game Against Newcastle.

Manchester United go 18 points clear of second placed rivals Manchester City. United have been smashing records throughout the season, and today they set a record with 25 wins in the first 30 games of the season and are the only club to do so, United have already broke the record for the amount of points at this stage of the season.

Wayne Rooney being rested for the lunchtime FA Cup replay game on Monday with Chelsea  with a few other first team player's being rested, United had a weaker team than usual, but still managed to pull off the 3 points to put their Twentieth title dream more likely, it took 26 minutes for the deadlock to be broken with a Robin van Persie shot that jerked off the knee of Bramble into the back of the net, but that was the only goal of the game, United managed to sustain their clean sheet run with a sixth consecutive game without coinciding a goal, but also managed to keep Sunderland's winless run going for the eighth game.

Was Taken From Their
Hands.

United came back to the Stadium of Light, where they had a nightmare end to a season, where they thought they'd won the title, but then seconds later finding out, that City scored in the last minute of their match to snatch it out of the grasp of them, that moment fueled United's form this season with the team determined not to lose the title on goal difference again and have taken note of that wounded feeling by scoring 70 goals and have  8 games remaining to score even more, and they also remembered the Sunderland fans that mocked them by showing the relegation battling team no pity by making sure they collected all the points to keep their point advantaged going into the remaining games.
