United are just 10 points from title glory and there is no doubt in Cristiano Ronaldo's mind that the Reds will get the job done.
After coming back from the brink of defeat against Tottenham on Saturday thanks to an incredible second half goal blitz, Sir Alex's men now know, that regardless of what Liverpool do, they can wrap up proceedings in the next four games and ensure a third successive season as champions.
Ronaldo, who chipped in with two goals in the comeback against Spurs, says every league game
is the equivalent of a cup final and he is convinced the Reds will reign triumphant next month.
"We have five games left and we know that if we win the next four we will win the league," he told MUTV. "We have five cup finals left and we have to believe. I'm looking forward to every game and I'm very confident we'll win the title again."
It was Ronaldo who began the sensational turnaround on Saturday, calming slotting home a controversial penalty 12 minutes after the break. With a buoyant Old Trafford faithful roaring them on, the Reds were soon in front and heading back to the top of the table.
"We know we didn't play well in the first half," admits Ronaldo. "But the spirit was different after half-time. We were a lot sharper and the players had more motivation. I was very happy with my goals and delighted for my team-mates as well - Rooney, Tevez, Berba - they all played fantastic.
"The atmosphere was absolutely brilliant in the second half and the fans helped us win the game. When we are together like that, the players and the supporters, you always know the result will come."
