Manchester United legend Roy Keane has said that the hype surrounding Manchester City at the moment could actually benefit his former club.

City have been in lethal form so far this season and lead the standings with 22 points from eight games.

At this stage, most fans and pundits believe that the title race will be a battle between Spurs, City and Manchester United though most people will probably favour City due to the heavy spending which they did during the summer.

Keane however believes that the hype surrounding City could actually end up benefitting the Red Devils.

"It will suit United," Keane said on ITV's Champions League highlights show.

"Let City get all the credit at the moment and United can go under the radar.City take on Burnley in the Premier League this weekend while United play against Huddersfield. Both teams will be expected to win their respective games."
