Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic admits they face a massive test in the opening weeks of the season.
With Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea to face in the opening five weeks, and both Liverpool and Manchester City looming in October, this time around the test of their credentials will come quickly.
"I am just hoping we reach our form from the beginning of the season," Vidic told CNN.
"We have a really tough schedule and some tough games in the first few weeks but if we perform the best we can, I believe we can win the title again."
