Experience essential - Edwin
Edwin Van der Sar believes Manchester United have the awareness that separates them from the rest.
The Dutch goalkeeper is confident they can kick on and lift an unprecedented fourth successive title.
United will go back to the top if they beat Portsmouth at Old Trafford as Chelsea do not play until Sunday against Arsenal.
Van der Sar, 39, knows what it is like to have that winning mentality.
"Experience definitely helps," he told www.manutd.com. "You've been there before - through narrow escapes and must-win games. You know how to handle them. The more you go through these situations the better you are at dealing with them.
"There's a moment in your career where it clicks and you think `I`ve been in this situation before, I know what to do, I know what to expect'. That comes in handy sometimes."
