Pep has doubts

LONDON: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed doubts over whether rivals Manchester United can challenge for the Premier League title, but believes they have a realistic chance of finishing in the top four. Sixth-placed United have been held to draws in six of their last eight league games, and Jose Mourinho’s men are 13 points behind league leaders Chelsea. “Of course, 13 points is a long distance, especially when one team is winning games with the quality of Chelsea,” Guardiola said. “So, it is not easy. But to be in the first four? Of course.” – Reuters
