Scholes in rivals' warning
Manchester United, 14:33, July 27, 2010 ,
Paul Scholes believes Chelsea and Manchester City are Manchester United's main rivals for the Premier League title.
The Blues denied the Red Devils a fourth straight league title last season, while bitter rivals City came extremely close to securing a Champions League place as they finished fifth in the table.
Due to the strengthening of their local rivals' squad - such as the purchases of Yaya Toure and David Silva - suggestions have been made that they could win the top prize.
Scholes however, is more confident that United can claim the title back off Carlo Anchelotti's men, but still is wary of their city and London rivals.
He said: "Who will our biggest rivals for the title be? You have got to say Chelsea. And the rest? You just do not know.
"City? We will have to see what happens there. They have bought so many players. Whether they can gel together remains to be seen."
"Will their spending help to motivate us? Yes," he added.
"The last thing we want is City above us. It has not happened while I have been here and hopefully it won't."
The midfielder is also warning against writing off old foes Liverpool, who have new boss Roy Hodgson at the helm and snapped up Joe Cole on a free transfer.
"Liverpool could be contenders. It just depends on how they start with a new manager," he said.
"You always have to be wary of Liverpool. The season before last they were really close to giving us a major challenge. Last season, for whatever reason, it did not work out for them.
"It is much the same group of players, with Joe Cole added to it as well. I am sure they will be a good team this year round."
