The Welsh winger claims that the scintillating victory at the Etihad Stadium can act as a jumping board for improved performances and that United can coast to the title after overcoming difficult challenges this season.
Manchester United were expected to be beaten by their neighbours when the two sides went head-to-head in hugely anticipated derby last week.
However, the Reds struck first and soon had their noses in front with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Zabaleta-c29022 netting for the hosts to level scores.
The game looked set to end as a draw, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 proved his worth to the 19-time English champions and scored through a brilliant free-kick towards the end to secure three points.
City fans were livid, but Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson was clearly delighted and went back to Old Trafford with his six points clear of the reigning champions.
Now with a win secured, the Red Devils have a simple festive fixture list and according to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985, the side can overcome them after raising their own morale with an injury-time win over their fierce rivals.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 captain, who was not involved in the game but rather watched from the bench, claimed that the win showed United’s title credentials and was hoping that they now in the Premier League in May.
"It should do, purely because of the way we performed. We have got everything in place for the busy Christmas period and the confidence of such a great result,” said the attacker.
Continuing, he added that some of the results they have achieved bode well for them, with the Premiership surely coming their way, if things continue like this for the next few months.
"We accept that we are letting too many goals in and we've had to come from behind too often, but the signs are there that this could be a very good season for us. The wins against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, Newcastle and City away have been our three best performances and
you probably can't get three bigger challenges,” said the Welsh star was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
