Stoke City boss Mark Hughes says there's plenty of weak areas inside Manchester United's squad.

Hughes cites how Manchester City won six in a row to start last season only to finish third.

"The manner of United's performances is impressive but we had similar with City," said Hughes. "They couldn't sustain it.

"United have areas that are a little loose, positionally, and we'll try to exploit it. The best way is to get about them and ask questions."
