‘Sorry Man City and Liverpool see what Chelsea would do next season’ – Manchester United legend finally reveals
Over the previous four to five years, Liverpool and Manchester City have dominated the Premier League.
The battle for the Premier League championship between Liverpool and City lasted all season long.
Last season, Man City finished in first place with 93 points, followed by Liverpool with 92 points and Chelsea with 73 points.
However, The favorites to win the league this season are Liverpool and Manchester City, but Manchester United icon Peter Schmeichel has a different opinion.
The former Manchester United goalkeeper predicts that Chelsea, Tottenham, and Arsenal will compete with Man City and Liverpool for the league title because he believes that both teams are attempting to strengthen their squads.
Schmeichel told The Times: “It is not going to be as plain sailing for Manchester City and Liverpool as people think. For both, it’s going to be a very different season.”
“A massive transition, in terms of the playing style, is taking place at City. Look at Pep Guardiola’s transfer business: signing Erling Haaland and letting Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus go.
“That tells you how committed he is to playing with a No 9 and we haven’t seen that with Pep before.
“How’s that going to play out? How long is that going to take to bed in? Will Haaland be as good in the Premier League as in Germany? I’m not sure. Will he score 25 goals? Yes, if the team service him. But City are not used to playing that way.
“Liverpool are also changing. They signed Darwin Nunez but lost Sadio Mane. Is Nunez going to be as good as Mane? I wonder.
“The competition will come from Chelsea, and from Spurs, who have signed well and in Antonio Conte have a very clever manager who is so good at getting the maximum out of his players.
“I’m also looking Arsenal and for the first time in a long time thinking ‘top four’
“Manchester United? Pre-season has been promising but the reality is that a long process of transition is required.
“The club have backed Erik ten Hag in recruiting players he knows and wanted to work worth, and his first season will be fascinating.”
