Experts say general standard of the Prem is down but captain comes side that's on course to separate Chelsea's history of 95 points in a time Michael Regan Nemanja Vidic says Manchester United deserve more respect for storming to the edge of a 20th name win. United hold a strong 15-point lead over outgoing champions Manchester City with eight games left and can extend that advantage to 18 items with success in Monday's derby at Old Trafford. The Reds also became the first team in English top-flight history to gain 25 of their first 30 games using their 1-0 victory absent to Sunderland last weekend. Sir Alex Ferguson's guys have 77 factors and are on course to overcome Chelsea's Premier League record total of 95 - established in 2005 in Jose Mourinho's first season in control. Despite turning up this kind of strong total and opening a huge lead, United have faced accusations they're never as great as Ferguson's teams of the past and that they've profited from a fall in expectations in the Premier League. But skipper Vidic said their details haul at this time of the year, in conjunction with Ferguson's part becoming on an 18-game unbeaten function in the Premier League, showed these were worth the greatest praise. "This is a great achievement," said Vidic. "If you've those figures, you can not fight. "I think well in 2013 we've played, we've scored several goals. Ok, perhaps certain things can be improved by us, but if you look at the team performance in 2013 I do believe it is a lot better than every other year. "We purchased so many players in 2013. So many people have a role to play, so, credit to everybody. Red army: Ferguson has stopped short of fielding United's pet - only Jordan Regan / Getty "We are determined to get the trophies. We care about design also, but I think it's most significant to think game by game. We keep saying that, but it could be the way to do it." United were leaking goals at the start of the period, which threatened to undermine their title concern, but Ferguson's men have kept six following clean sheets in the league. They have gone 627 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League - Southampton were the last team to break United's protection on January 30 in a defeat at Old Trafford. Vidic confirmed United's increased protection as a key aspect in their relentless drive to the concept and said: "We have now been improving, issues came together and we began protecting greater. "You have different ways to check at it, but I am glad we've had clean sheets and can be more secure at the rear. "It also helps the enemies not to be under pressure so much. "It is going well - we have to help keep going." Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson has advised striker Robin van Persie is putting up with the results of the depth of his first time with United.
