Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has insisted that Sir Alex Ferguson is the big difference between his side and Manchester United.
The Red Devils currently hold a five point advantage at the Premier League summit over Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Yet Anelka believes that the advantage United have over their rivals is not the fact that they have better players, but because of their manager.
"United don't have a notably better or more complete squad than Chelsea or Liverpool," he told The Sun. "But Ferguson is so smart and so impressive.
"He keeps spotting and signing precisely the right players to complement what he already has and give balance to his squad.
"Then, what is massively important and difficult, Ferguson somehow teaches them to understand and demonstrate the special spirit of his club.
"He has been there doing it for a long time. But he keeps on succeeding."
