'A big loss' - Manchester United legends on why City are catchable

The loss of a key leader in Pep Guardiola's side could see City stumble this season, according to two United icons

Manchester United legends Bryan Robson and Denis Irwin believe Manchester City will be 'catchable' next season, singling out the loss of captain Vincent Kompany as a potential weak spot.

Pep Guardiola's side edged out Liverpool for the Premier League title last season, with the Red Devils meanwhile finishing sixth - 32 points shy of their cross-city rivals.

City could now claim the league for a third straight time this coming season, but Robson suggested the loss of a leader like Kompany could see them struggle for direction.
