United face Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday ahead of the international break.
“I always think Manchester United and Chelsea will be the top two and I don’t think this year will be any exception,” he told MUTV.
“They will be our main rivals for the title.
“They have great players and a great coach. Everybody knows that. It is still early but I think the title will be between us two.”
“I scored plenty of times against them with Tottenham, now I want to continue with Manchester United,” he added.
“I would be glad to score a couple against them tomorrow but it is not about one player.
“If it was 1-0 and Nemanja Vidic or Patrice Evra got the goal it would be just as good because we would be taking the three points home and we would be above them again.”
