Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has dismissed Manchester United's late season surge.
Speaking at the launch of this year's Danone Nations Cup, the England ace said: "United are stringing wins together and they are making a fight of it.
"You would expect that from a great club like United with a great manager like Alex Ferguson. He's got his team playing well, they've got six back-to-back wins in the Premiership now and they are putting the pressure on us.
"But that's great. It is what we need and it will only bring the best out of us. We are not looking over our shoulders.
"We know we need four victories to win the league, whatever United do.
"We can stay focused and get them before the FA Cup semi-final - starting with Birmingham."
