Ramos: United are better than their title rivals

Tottenham manager Juande Ramos today tipped Manchester United to win the title because they play the best football in the country.

Spurs did Sir Alex Ferguson's side a big favour last night by holding Chelsea to a 4-4 draw but Ramos feels United are already on a different level.

The former Sevilla coach has come up against all three title contenders since taking over at White Hart Lane and believes United will be too strong for Arsenal and Chelsea.

He said: "It's very evenly balanced but the team I like most for the title is Manchester United.

"Obviously, they are three points ahead and playing the most attractive football.

"It is a subjective opinion and not necessarily what I want to happen, but it's just what I see. Chelsea would have been closer to winning it if they'd beaten us last night."

Ferguson, however, is sure Chelsea will still decide the destination of the title despite dropping two points at Spurs.

"I think it will go to the wire," he said. "I think Chelsea hold the key.

"They have Arsenal and ourselves at Stamford Bridge and their home record is very good."

The last visitors to win at the Bridge were Arsenal, four seasons ago, and the Gunners travel to Chelsea this Sunday, with United at home to fourth-placed Liverpool.

Arsenal now trail the champions by three points, with Chelsea a further two behind, but Joe Cole agreed with Ferguson that, with eight games still to play, anything can happen.
