Seven points from four games will assure United of a third successive Barclays Premier League title, but Ryan Giggs insists the Reds aren't getting ahead of themselves.
Saturday's stroll at Middlesbrough put the Reds six points clear of Liverpool, but Giggs - going for his record-extending 11th league title - expects the Merseysiders to keep plugging away.
"We always pencilled this in as a tough game," Giggs told Sky Sports at the Riverside Stadium. "It always is against Middlesbrough and we struggled here last year.
"We just wanted to get this one out of the way. We’ve done that and now we’ve just got to concentrate on the remaining games, because Liverpool are a good side and they’ll definitely fight to the end."
Giggs opened the scoring in fine fashion against Gareth Southgate's side, and it was a fitting end to a perfect week for the Welshman.
"It’s been a great week," he said. "Winning the (PFA Player of the Year) award, reaching 800 appearances and scoring today, it really couldn't have gone ant better."
