Liverpool aren\u2019t ahead them at the moment in the pecking order, neither are Chelsea, neither are Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Manchester United haven\u2019t had to cope with Champions League football or cup competitions this season, so there\u2019s a massive advantage there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, I think it will come down to: how does this Arsenal team deal with winning or losing the league? We don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat could be a case of: they (Arsenal) have won it, can they win it back-to-back? Difficult. If they haven\u2019t won it, how are they going to recover and what\u2019s going to happen there?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe big question is here (at Manchester City). Two things\u2026 Pep Guardiola and the 115 charges. What\u2019s going to happen with those charges? Are they going to get a big points deduction if found guilty of some of the more serious offences? So they\u2019re two big questions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Manchester City were to get a big points deduction or Pep Guardiola leaves, and you\u2019ve got Arsenal reeling from not winning it, I would say Manchester United are in with a right chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<p><script>\n        !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n        n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n        if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n        n.queue=();t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n        t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)(0);\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n        'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('init', '1399787394855675');\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    <\/script><script>\n        !function(e,n,t){var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)(0);e.getElementById\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man Utd legend Gary Neville has named three \u201crealistic\u201d signings for the Red Devils this summer and his three \u201cdream world\u201d transfers at Old Trafford.
