Wales coach Giggs can't see Man Utd as title contenders

Wales coach Ryan Giggs doesn't rate former club Manchester United as title contenders this season.

Giggs is unable to make a case for United, despite his old club finishing runners-up last term.

He told Sky Sports: “It looks like a case of Manchester City v Liverpool for the title.

“Although you can't dismiss Chelsea because they're playing well.

“Remember just two years ago they (Chelsea) were the champions and they've got players in that dressing room who know what it takes – Liverpool haven't got that, but you've got to start somewhere and Liverpool have been impressive.

“As for Man City, I watched them against Lyon and you think something might be wrong and then they go and put on a show against Cardiff.

“So I'd say it was between those two but you can't discount Chelsea.

“I'd still just give Manchester City the edge purely because Pep Guardiola usually wins the second season after winning the league and they've got players who've been there and done it."
