Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola isn't writing off Manchester United's title challenge.

Today, Guardiola said there was still plenty of time for Manchester United to work their way back into the title race.

He said: “Man Utd are great team, a top team. This season – we are just in August, so there are teams above us but we are just in August.

“So there is a lot of points to player for. After the international break is start of the real season in terms of every three days regeneration, recovery, injuries.

“A lot of travel, to come back, not a lot of time to prepare training sessions, no time to prepare the games and after that start of the real season.

“We started in August but we have dropped two points, or we won one point, one of the secrets from last season was when we didn't get three points, we won [the next game].

“We didn't make results two or three in a row and that is one of the reasons why we got what we did last season."
