Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelanbelieves the Premier League title is still theirs to lose despite a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal.
With three games to go the Red Devils are three points clear of Chelsea and the two teams will battle it out next week in a tie that could potentially decide where the trophy will go at the end of the season.
And Phelan feels that although they put in a poor shift against theGunners they are still exactly where they want to be, in first place.
Phelan said: "We are sitting pretty, we've got two home games left and one away, no one said [the league] would be won with three games to go, we'll play right to the end and we're in control.
"Nobody's going to get their own way in this Premier League, we set out this season to do our job over the whole period of the season and we're sitting where we want to be and that is at the top. We're there, we've still got three games to go and it's all down to us."
Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant also insisted the Red Devils will need to pick themselves up from the defeat to Arsenal quickly so that it doesn't impact on the their final games of the season.
He added: "This performance will hurt some of our players and we'll move on quickly, we have to do that. We've got a European game, second leg semi-final [against Schalke] at Old Trafford and we're in control of that game at the moment [too].
"We'll put in a performance and then we'll move on to the Premier League against Chelsea at the weekend."
