Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has shared his thoughts on the Premier League title race, backing Arsenal as potential champions this season while dismissing Manchester United’s chances.

Speaking during an interview, the 40-year-old admitted that United are already too far behind in the race.

When asked if Arsenal can win the league, Ronaldo responded:

“Yes, it’s possible. But it’s not possible for Man United because they’re so many points behind.”

Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League table with 25 points, six ahead of Manchester City and seven clear of Liverpool. Manchester United, meanwhile, are in eighth place with 17 points.

Ronaldo, who spent two spells at Manchester United, has often expressed concerns about the direction of his former club since his departure.
