Sunday 24th May - Spurs Home
From now until the 9th we have 6 days, 9th - 17th we have 8 days and 17th - 24th we have 7 days. Basically one game a week and 24 days inbetween them in total.

2 days until their next game, 5th - 10th they have 5 days, 10th - 13th they have 3 days, 13th - 16th they have 3 days, 16th - 24th they have 8 days. A total of 21 days and in that time they have to play 5 games.
The part I see is the key I have put in bold.
All united need to secure the title is 2 wins and a draw so we have to pray that the 2 hardest teams they have to face, Man City and Arsenal can do us a favour. I am confident that Arsenal can beat United in the league and I am also confident that City could at least snatch a draw. Although these two games have been highlighted as their toughest I think Wigan also have the ability to prevent United from getting 3 points, after all they have done well against the top teams and they only lost to a 1st minute Rooney goal the last time they played and that was at OT.
We have more time to rest and have less chance of having a player sent off or picking up an injury but I do fear that final game against Spurs because knowing our luck we will need a win or a draw and we will lose to a late goal by Robbie Keane. Rafa needs to keep the players in the mind set they are in because then we wont lose, we are steam rolling over everyone we play at the moment and are putting real pressure on United.
What pisses me off is that if Macheda hadn't come on then they would have 2 less wins, if the ref hadn't gave the penalty against Spurs they would have gone without another win and yesterday Boro should have had a penalty but never got it so they have been very lucky as of late so surely that luck is about to run out.
I'm still holding onto my thought of; 'This would be our 19th year since our last title and we are looking for our 19th title so surely its fate to win the 19th title in the 19th year'.
