United are ready for EPL title bid: Robson
Aug 27, 2017 - 11:10 AM Bryan Robson believes Manchester United are in their best place to challenge for the Premier League crown since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.Life without the Scot was always going to be difficult but few could have foreseen just how tough it would be.
Ferguson left United as Premier League champions in 2013 but since then they have not finished higher than fourth.
Jose Mourinho was brought in last year to bring the club back to the top and, having won three trophies and finished sixth in his first campaign, a genuine title challenge now looks on the cards.
Saturday's 2-0 defeat of Leicester continued their 100 per cent start to the domestic campaign and United great Robson believes this is their best shot at Premier League glory since Ferguson left.
"It always depends on injuries throughout the year, but as far as I am concerned since Sir Alex left this is probably the strongest squad that I've seen," he told Press Association Sport.
"We've got pace, we've got power, but we've also got quality players.
"That helps to try and win titles, but Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham these sort of teams are top-class teams.
"You've got to compete against them and do well against them, but I am quite confident that the boys can do that this year and we can compete against the best."
