Manchester United Premier League winner Dimitar Berbatov is delighted seeing his old team in the title race.
He believes United were excellent in their 9-0 win over Southampton on Tuesday and insists the additional goal difference will be 'crucial' in securing the Premier League title.
Berbatov hopes United will carry their momentum into Saturday's home match against Everton.
He told Betfair: "Manchester United were excellent in their 9-0 win over Southampton and gave Ole Gunnar Solskjaer exactly the kind of performance he would have demanded after the draw at Arsenal and defeat to Sheffield United.
"It also gave United's goal difference a great boost which, in a title race, can be crucial.
"I felt sorry for Southampton, who didn't stand a chance after the early sending off of Alex Jankewitz, and United were able to relax. For them it was simply a matter of how many goals they would score.
"Football can be like that sometimes and watching the match reminded me of the time I hit five at Old Trafford in a 7-1 win over Blackburn.
"It was good to see Anthony Martial end his drought with a couple of goals. United played well but the important thing is that they carry their momentum into Saturday's match at home to Everton."
He then continued: "If United beat Everton, they can look forward to watching Sunday's massive game at Anfield between Liverpool and Man City, knowing they've put pressure on both their title rivals.
"Both two teams are starting to hit top form. I have a feeling City could edge it but, more than anything, I want to see a top of the table clash where both teams go for it and goals are scored at both ends."
