Gary Neville sends warning to Man Utd and Man City about "serious" title rivals

Gary Neville has opened up on the Premier League title race, sending a warning to both Manchester United and Manchester City about their "serious" opponent Chelsea. Former Red Devils man is convinced that Thomas Tuchel's side will be major contenders to lift the league trophy this term.

“It was interesting because I’d expect Manchester United to beat Newcastle the way in which they did – with or without Ronaldo,” Neville said on Sky Sports.

“But then I went home from Salford to watch the Chelsea-Villa game and Villa played well, and Villa are a decent side, but Chelsea again, just like robotic, methodical. “When they scored that first goal, Lukaku, I just thought, “Ooh, it’s ominous”. The striker scoring, guaranteed, the players in behind him, a good midfield. They’re going to be very difficult to stop. “The talk will all be about Manchester – Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Manchester United – but Chelsea I think everyone knows they’re serious. “We’ve watched them now two or three times this season, I watched them against Liverpool at Anfield and it was a real performance. “They’re just a good team. Good at Arsenal, they’ve got Tottenham next week away from home, that will be interesting.” Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
