People are predicting the Premier League title race is going to be a classic over the coming season, but Roy Keane disagrees with this and reckons it will be a one-horse race.
The former Old Trafford captain reckons Manchester United will romp to the Premier League title and not be worried about the presence of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City.
Sir Alex Ferguson recently said he thinks up to six teams – including Liverpool and Spurs – will be in Premier League title contention over the course of the season and he was predicting a tight race. Anyone looking at the football betting may be thinking the same.
There is no doubt Chelsea are looking for glory under new manager Andres Villas-Boas, while City are spending manically in the hope of getting ahead of United.
The likes of Liverpool and Spurs are also looking to build through spending, while Arsenal have also been looking to improve but have concerns about losing Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri and the football odds show they could struggle.
Ferguson himself has spent £50 million-plus during the summer to transform his team as he ensures they stay ahead of the chasing pack, but Keane thinks the title is a sure thing as he claims Chelsea will "self-destruct" and fall behind, Arsenal "have not really bought anybody" and Liverpool are "nowhere near" winning the Premier League title.
The outspoken Irishman told the Sun: "Even Sir Alex Ferguson said the other day the league's getting tougher. But I don't think so.
"If United are really at it, which they will be, they'll win it comfortably."
There remains constant speculation that Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder could be on his way to United, and if Ferguson gets his man then the arrival of such a top player could swing the Premier League title battle firmly in his side's favour.
