Dimitar Berbatov believes Manchester City will face more competition for the Premier League title next season, with Manchester United tipped to compete.
City have been crowned Premier League champions in five of the last six seasons. Their dominance has led to some concerns about the competitiveness of the top flight.
However, Berbatov has warned City that United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea will be stronger next year. He believes all three clubs will put up a better fight against City and that the title race will be much more open.
Berbatov told Betfred: "They need to be because Erik ten Hag is now fully knowledgeable about everything that’s going on at the club and his debut season is now over. Erik’s expectation, the club’s expectation and the fans' expectation should be to win the Premier League title next season.

"Of course, it’s going to be tough with what Manchester City have done this year, but Manchester United’s motivation should be to stop their domination. I believe it will be difficult for Manchester City next season because not only Manchester United, but the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool will be competing with them also.
"I know Chelsea had a difficult campaign, but they’ll be better next season under Mauricio Pochettino. It’s going to be very interesting to see which club presents Manchester City with the biggest challenge."
