United’s legend favors rivals as Premier League winners

CAIRO – 2 August 2017: Veteran Manchester United player Ryan Giggs favors Manchester City as the Premier League champions for the upcoming season.

Speaking to Sky Sports on August 1, the Welshman had his say on who would win the Premier League. He addressed the chances of Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.

Giggs stated to Sky Sports, “I think Manchester City are the team to beat. I looked at them towards the end of last season, and the forward players they've got is scary, with Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, Leroy Sane, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Raheem Sterling,” reporting from Goal.

Giggs added, “What they needed to get right was their defence, and it will be interesting to see how Ederson settles in, because you don't win the Premier League with an average goalkeeper.They've obviously invested heavily on full-backs, but the question is still whether Vincent Kompany can stay fit, because his influence and experience are key for them,” according to Goal.

He then moved to address the chances of Chelsea FC, saying, “You can't ignore Chelsea because of their quality, but have they got the squad to balance defending the Premier League and European football? I'm not sure,” citing from Goal.

Giggs concluded by talking about Tottenham, “Tottenham have a really exciting squad and a great manager in Mauricio Pochettino, but everybody is asking whether they can continue to match sides without signings,” according to Goal.

Ryan Giggs was one of the legendary wingers that Manchester United has witnessed in the history of the club. He helped the team win several Premier League titles, as well as crowning them as Champions League champions.
