Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata believes that his team can still catch up arch-rivals and in the process, can finish second in the Premier League table.
Following United's back-to-back wins over Tottenham and Liverpool, Louis van Gaal's men are fourth in the table with 59 points, two points behind second-placed City.
Mata said that they are one point and two points from City and Arsenal, insisting that they could even be second if they win the direct games against them, the BBC reported.
United will next face strugglers Aston Villa on Saturday before welcoming local rivals City a week on Sunday and Arsenal on 17 May.
