Tom Cleverley: 'Manchester United back in the mix'

Tom Cleverley has claimed that Manchester United are "back in the mix" for the Premier League title following Sunday's 1-0 win over Arsenal.

The champions moved to within five points of the league leaders as they claimed a narrow victory at Old Trafford, thanks to a Robin van Persie goal.

"We didn't want [Arsenal] to go 11 points ahead of us," Goal.com quotes him as saying.

"It gets us right back in the mix and gets our confidence up. I am sure we can get a run together and get right up to the top.

"It is what everyone predicted at the start of the season - everyone is improving and it makes for a really competitive season."

The Red Devils are back in action on November 24 when they travel to Cardiff City in the Premier League.
