Hargreaves: Man Utd deserve title ahead of Chelsea



Manchester United deserve the title ahead of Chelsea, insists Owen Hargreaves. "It would be nice if teams like United who play attacking football and score lots of goals got their reward," said the England midfielder-turned-right-back.



"It is very rare at this level to see a team at the top of the table with such a massive goal difference. We are in control of our own destiny, which is what you want, and we need only one win to retain our title.



"Now we will see how Chelsea get on. It should be an interesting game as Newcastle are doing well of late."





After victory over West Ham on Saturday, Hargreaves was pleased with the way United reacted after the euphoria of beating Barcelona.



He said: "We got three goals very quickly and then West Ham got a goal back.



"Perhaps we could have defended better and when Nani got sent off it made things a bit more difficult.



"But West Ham surprised us by the way they defended and we kept the ball better than them.



"I thought we were always likely to score again as we maintained our focus and that's what happened.



"It was important to finish our home game with a win as there was good energy among the supporters."
