Manchester United's festive (or rather hectic) journey of 4 fixtures in 10 days started off in fine spirits as Dimitar Berbatov's brace against Sunderland helped United clinch the top spot, 5 points clear of Arsenal.
One can arguably say that United would be sitting comfortably on top for a long time leaving Chelsea and Arsenal to catch up on points. And with the second half of the season about to start, United will only get better and better.
