Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs says winning the Premier League this season would be "a massive achievement".
United look poised to win a 20th title as they sit eight points clear of local rivals Manchester City with just six games to go.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side have recovered a six-point deficit in 2012 and Giggs says beating City in the race - with all their spending power - would be "huge".
Giggs also insists United have done so well considering they have lost several experienced players in the past 12 months.
"It would be huge," he told United Review. "When you look at the spending power Manchester City have, the injuries we've had, the experience we've lost - Scholesy (Paul Scholes) Wes Brown, Edwin van der Sar and Jon O'Shea."
Giggs also says if they do win the league again it is an even better achievement because young keeper David de Gea was signed last summer and took a while to adapt to the English game.
He added: "Then the challenge we faced bringing in a new goalkeeper - David de Gea came in for a lot of criticism early on but he's worked hard and he's showing terrific form at a key time - and the young talent we've blooded in, it would be a massive achievement."
