According to Fabinho, City, alongside the Reds, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal, can win the Premier League.

Speaking to The Athletic, the Liverpool ace snubbed Man United from his list of clubs that can win the league.

"Man City are obviously the favourites and it’s tough to fight against them to win the Prem," he said.

"City are always buying new players, always reinforcing their team. This summer was no different with Haaland joining them. I think it will be a really good battle with them, but not just them.

"Tottenham have bought some good players, Arsenal too with Gabriel Jesus going there, Chelsea too," he added.

Ronaldo is yet to link up with the rest of the Manchester United squad for the pre-season amid reports he is looking to leave the club.

However, his absence has had little to no impact on United's pre-season tour, with the club off a bright start under Erik ten Hag.
