London, Oct 11 (ANI): Manchester United star Gary Neville has admitted that rivals Manchester City with their big spending capacity are serious challengers for the Premier League title this season.
Manchester City moved above United in the points table last week after a home win over Newcastle that followed the failure of Sir Alex Ferguson's team to beat Sunderland.
City is now the closest challengers to champions Chelsea, with the prospect of even more money being spent by owner Sheikh Mansour in the January transfer window.
"Last weekend's results mean we are behind Manchester City in the league, which hasn't happened often in the past 20 years," Neville told the Sunday Times of Malta.
"There is no doubt we have to see City as major challengers this season along with Chelsea. City and Chelsea are above us and the money that City have spent, and the quality and depth in both squads, mean we have to see them both as rivals for the title," he said.
United will attempt to get back to winning ways against West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday, The Daily Mail reports. (ANI)
