First-half goals by Paul Scholes and Ashley Young earned a comfortable
win over Swansea as Manchester United moved level on points with
Manchester City - but it could not disguise a feeling of helplessness at
Old Trafford.
Although only goal difference separates the top two,
the championship will be City's for the first time in 44 years so long
as Roberto Mancini's side can match United's result on the final day of
the season.
City will face QPR at home, having won all but one of their 18 Premier League matches at the Etihad Stadium, while United travel to Sunderland.
And with United only managing the same margin of victory as City had earlier recorded at Newcastle, Sir Alex Ferguson's men trail their "noisy neighbours" by eight goals.
Four weeks ago Ferguson's side were eight points clear of Mancini's team.
And as the Scot walked onto the pitch afterwards, his assertion that "hopefully next week will be the biggest celebration of our lives" underlined the about-turn in fortunes needed.
