But Arsenal boss admits they have been lucky
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits Manchester United could very well emulate his own 'invincibles'.
However, the Gunners chief admitted that they had thus far been 'lucky' to avoid defeat.
Going a full league season undefeated is just about the only feat in English football United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has yet to achieve, and it something only ever done twice - Preston in 1889 and Arsenal in 2004.
"Do you ask me can they still do it? Certainly, because they have not been beaten yet," said Wenger.
"Have they been a bit lucky until now? Certainly, but we'll see. I don't know more than you.
"You really think about winning the championship but with five games to go, you think about: 'Oh, we can add something to that'. That's what happened with us. But you don't think about that with 16 games to go."
Wenger admits his side need to continue their own good form if they have a chance of winning the title.
"What is important is to beat Man United and we will only have the chance, with the run that they are on, if we do exceptionally well until the end of the season," he continued.
"So I focus more on that, knowing that they have a difficult schedule as well. If they have five games to go and they are still unbeaten, come back to me and I'll say 'Now, they can do it'."
