Graeme Souness: Man United and Man City face different tasks

Image: Rooney and Van Persie: quality players are winning games, but others need to step up, says Souness

Bayer Leverkusen v Manchester United

I don't think they've been that bad on the road either. People point to the games they've lost, but they should have won at Sunderland, they should have won at Cardiff and they should have won at Aston Villa. Plus it took a last-minute goal to beat them at Chelsea and I don't think they deserved to lose that game either. I still think they are the team you have to finish in front of to win the Premier League - and I believe they can go in a long way in the Champions League as well. They can get to the semi-finals with the proviso that they are a little cuter tactically when they play against the very best - they may need to sacrifice Alvaro Negredo in certain games to bolster the midfield. You look at it and Man City wouldn't want to play either Barcelona or Bayern Munich. They are the only two teams who would cause them major problems right now. They should fancy themselves big time against anybody else.
