Former Arsenal star Freddie Ljungberg believes Manchester United have been dragged back to the rest of the Premiership.
The Seattle Sounders ace told evertonTV: "Last season, you had Villa challenging for the top spots and Man City have so much money.
"But Everton are always up there too, so it's going to be tight and it's good for the game. Manchester United have lost two good players and haven't really replaced them so could that make it tighter at the top."
