Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure believes Manchester United will find it hard to defend the Premier League title as they struggle to adapt to life under David Moyes.
United headed in to the 2013-14 season with new manager for the first time since 1986 following Sir Alex Ferguson’s shock retirement and the champions have taken time to adjust to the changes.
A tough start to the campaign, which included matches against Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, has seen the Red Devils claim just four wins from nine matches to leave them eight points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
Things have improved in recent games but Toure believes the champions will find it difficult to close the gap on their rivals.
“United will find it hard to defend the title since they have a new manager and are really struggling,” Toure told The Sun.
While United have struggled this term, Liverpool have enjoyed a solid start to their campaign with just one loss and Toure has tipped Brendan Rodgers’ side to continue their good run of form.
“Liverpool are a big threat at the moment because they have a strong squad and their strikers – Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge – are scoring goals at will,” Toure added.
