Manchester United legend Gary Neville expects his former club to finish third in the Premier League table this season.
The Red Devils have invested heavily in the transfer market this summer but Neville still believes Manchester City are the team to beat:
“You’ve still got to go with Man City at this point because of what they’ve done over the last few years [regardless of what happens with Kane] and Chelsea have still got to prove themselves, Manchester United have got to prove themselves, Liverpool have got to prove they can get back to that level where they were before.”
Neville thinks that City will win the title, with Chelsea in second, United third and Liverpool fourth but, as he says himself, there are a lot of unknowns in terms of how the top four rivals will perform.
Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane should push Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to the next level, considering the quality they possess but, at the same time, the likes of Chelsea and City have improved their squads as well.
We will probably find out more when United come against their title rivals in the league. They face Liverpool at Old Trafford in late October with the Manchester derby coming up in early November.
