United right on the money says Wenger

Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, believes that Manchester United are the team to beat in England because they handle 'money time' the best.

The Frenchmen believes that United are ahead of the pack in that they have players who can handle the pressure.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men are 5 points clear at the top of the Premier League after a late 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers on Monday night.

Although Arsenal are no longer serious contenders in the title race, Wenger is impressed by the Champions ability to grind out results.

The Arsenal boss, when asked on the subject, said: 'Manchester United are surprisingly in a comfortable position, no one expected them to be because they did not look absolutely irresistible this year.

'You could see that again on Monday night against Blackburn, but they managed to win the game.

'If Manchester United make it to the title, it is really down to experience.

The Frenchman continued: 'At Blackburn when [Ryan] Giggs came on in the last 15 minutes you thought 'they can only win it now' because they know how to deal with the money time, that means the last 15 minutes in football when it is 0-0.

'They don't make a mistake, they have that security at the back. United have won so many titles because they are not nervous.'

United's city rivals, Manchester City, travel to North London on Easter Sunday to play Wenger's men knowing that only a win will do in their bid to overturn the Red Devils 5 point advantage.

Speaking on the all Manchester title race, the Arsenal manager said: 'Manchester United at the moment has a little advantage, but we will see. It is very difficult to predict what will happen.'
