Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs believes that Manchester City will be the team to beat in the Premier League this season.

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has predicted that Manchester City will be the "team to beat" in the race for the Premier League title.

The two-time champions failed to launch a serious challenge for the crown in Pep Guardiola's first season in charge as they ended the campaign in third place.

This summer, the club have strengthened the squad significantly with the arrivals of Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker, Danilo, Benjamin Mendy and goalkeeper Ederson.

In his Class of '92 diary for Sky Sports, Giggs said: "I think Manchester City are the team to beat though. 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.

"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."

City's neighbours United have bought Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic so far in the transfer window.
