Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri believes Manchester United will be title challengers this season. Nasri was asked about their nearest rivals this term.
"I think our two main rivals will be Chelsea and Manchester United.
"Chelsea have made some good signings and Cesc Fabregas will be the guy to replace Frank Lampard. He is a great player, I know that because I was with him at Arsenal.
"Chelsea had a weakness up front last year but have signed Diego Costa. They will be really dangerous.
"United have a new coach, have strengthened as well and don't have any European competition -- so I expect them to come back stronger, too."
The 27-year-old also commented, almost as an afterthought, on his former club Arsenal's chances.
"But Arsenal could be in there, too, and bringing in players like Alexis Sanchez will make them stronger."
