Man Utd can push Blues - Beckham
Real Madrid's David Beckham expects Manchester United to push Chelsea "very close" in the Premiership title race.
A run of eight straight League wins has led to Beckham's old club closing the gap on leaders Chelsea to seven points.
Midfielder Beckham, 30, told the Daily Mirror: "I think it can go all the way to the wire. It is going to be very close because United are playing well.
"Chelsea have a great team and a strong manager but United are on a roll and it will be closer than people expect."
United face Arsenal on Sunday and must also visit Chelsea on 29 April but Beckham believes Sir Alex Ferguson's side have nothing to fear.
"Their performances are great, they are scoring goals," added the England captain.
"They have so many players within the team who can get goals - like Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Louis Saha - and they are all playing well.
"I am really looking forward to seeing what happens."
