Denis Irwin believes Manchester United's attacking options can give Jose Mourinho's men the edge as they look for second place and silverware.
Pep Guardiola's swashbuckling Manchester City have all but wrapped up the Premier League crown already, given their remarkable double-digit lead as we enter March.
Mourinho has conceded the title is beyond United but boosted hopes of finishing runners-up - their highest position since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 - by overcoming reigning champions Chelsea on Sunday.
FA Cup and Champions League dreams also remain alive for a side that United great Irwin believes are heading in the right direction, especially given Alexis Sanchez's January arrival and Romelu Lukaku's form.
