United in good shape for title hat-trick, says Van der Sar

EDWIN VAN DER SAR insists Manchester United remain relaxed about their prospects of completing a Premier League title hat-trick.

With an arduous run of away fixtures in the first half of the season, one match postponed already and another to come later this month due to the knock-on effect of last term’s Champions League win, United have fallen off the pace.

However, Sunday’s win at Manchester City, coupled with Chelsea’s surprise home defeat by Arsenal, has brightened the picture significantly.
