Manchester United are NOT title contenders this season, according to Graeme Souness.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane to a squad that finished as runners-up in the Premier League and Europa League last season during the summer transfer window.
United have started the season well too, unbeaten in their first four games of the Premier League with Ronaldo, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes all in great form.
Despite that, though, former Liverpool captain and current Sky Sports pundit, Souness, believes that United aren't title contenders because they don't have the experience of winning trophies together like Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea do.
"I agree this is the strongest top four we’ve seen in the Premier League for several years,’ Souness told The Times.
"But with the caveat that there are still more question marks against Manchester United than any of the other title contenders – Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.
"United have not won any major trophies recently and have spent a great deal of money. Liverpool and City have been the real deal for the past few years and Chelsea have won the Champions League.
"If you put it like that, it’s common sense. The other ones have not only won trophies, but the big trophies, the important ones."
United will look to continue their good form and prove Souness wrong when they take on West Ham on Sunday afternoon at the London Stadium to try and return to the top of the league.
