Vieira ready to knock United – again!

Patrick Vieira has vowed to knock Manchester United off their perch just as he did at Arsenal. The Frenchman managed to win three EPL titles in nine years with the Gunners before moving to Italy. Now back in English football with Manchester City, the 33-year-old midfielder is keen for history to repeat itself. "I have beaten them before with Arsenal and, yes, I believe I can do it with City now, this season,” said Vieira on Saturday. "We have got a team who can fight for the title. When you look at the players the club's got, I strongly believe we are not out of the race to win the title.” He also claims the Red Devils do not look as strong as in previous years. "They are not dominating like they used to. United used to be top and so many points clear. That is no longer the case.”
