Utd just kept winning too.
That's pretty much it, they were always relatively comfortable. I think the gap was always ~4 points/a game in hand.

The crucial period was late-November/December/January. Whereas we kept on drawing, United were going on that ridiculous run of about 14 consecutive clean sheets.
