The Londoners have endured a disappointing campaign, but are just six points behind United with four games to play.
United still have to play Arsenal and Chelsea, meaning that Ancelotti’s men still retain hope.
“I lost a title nine points up with eight games to go. It can happen. It’s not a nice feeling. It was very difficult to think two months ago that we could stay with the lead so for this reason, at this moment, we are happy.”
