Sir Alex Ferguson is sure Manchester United will be in the Premier League title race until the end despite admitting Arsenal have the best run.

Ferguson: Knows what is required

Chelsea appeared to be strong favourites for the title at one stage, but they have faltered recently to let United and Arsenal, who had been written off, right back into the race.

United are seeking their fourth consecutive title and, although Ferguson accepts Arsenal have the more favourable run-in, he feels his side's experience will be crucial over the final weeks.

"Arsenal are bang in the frame now," Ferguson told his club's official website.

"They have the easiest programme on paper and it will be an interesting run-in.

"Chelsea losing (to Manchester City) was a good result for us, but there are a lot of hard games left.

"You have to focus at the turn of the year and make sure you don't make mistakes," added the experienced Scot.

"We lost to Everton and we were a bit tired. But we recovered against West Ham and we recovered again (against Aston Villa in the Carling Cup final).

"We have shown time and time again that this football club has determination. They don't give in and that is a good quality. You will see that in the remainder of the season. We won't give in."
