The Blues managed to extract a point from the Red Devils, but surrendered to Liverpool due to a Xabi Alonso first-half goal.
Despite the results, Chelsea's first-choice glovesman, Petr Cech, is adamant that it is United who still pose the greater threat both in domestic competition and abroad, and told Denik Sport:
"I would say that [our biggest threat] are still Manchester United.
"You can always count on them as they have been playing together for a long time and have a strong bench," he said.
Regarding the challenge of fellow London club Arsenal, he added: "I think that Arsenal have returned to the race by beating us. But they cannot afford to drop more points."
And concerning Liverpool's title bid, Cech said: "Liverpool? We will see.
"They have also slowly started to drop points, like we have done. Only time will show how it will affect them.
"Anyway, I think they will perhaps manage to stay in the top three until the end."
Chelsea host Cluj Napoca in the Champions League this evening before Premier League business resumes on Sunday with a home date against eastenders West Ham United.
